What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Brew 8-Bit V2

The Brew 8-Bit V2 is praised for its casually elegant, versatile rectangular design that subtly balances 8-bit gaming and coffee themes, with solid build quality and finishing. Owners note the left subdial tracks 60 minutes and the right indicates day/night, with the chronograph's second hand only moving when activated. Criticisms include the lack of a seconds subdial, no lume, minor movement quirks like the chronograph minute hand jumping upon reset, and a slightly off-center yellow part on the hour hand. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Brew 8-Bit V2 highly for its unique design and solid build quality at its price point.

DuFrane Watches Travis 39mm MkII Mechanical Diving Watch

Owners widely praise the DuFrane Watches Travis 39mm MkII Mechanical Diving Watch for its comfortable 39mm wearability and attractive dial features, with many appreciating the included strap options. The watch's lume is noted as surprisingly bright, and its suitability for water activities is confirmed. However, some owners find the bezel difficult to turn and question its functionality as a true dive watch bezel due to its thinness, while others are deterred by the brand name. On balance, owners rate the DuFrane Watches Travis 39mm MkII Mechanical Diving Watch highly for its comfortable wearability and attractive dial features, with many appreciating the included strap options.
