What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Gruppo Gamma Vanguard Steel

The Gruppo Gamma Vanguard Steel is praised for its aged steel case and cream sandwich dial. However, some owners dislike the distorted sapphire crystal and the absence of minute markers, with one noting difficulty in replacing the crystal due to hand fitment. The watch features a Miyota 9039 movement with a 42-hour power reserve and an accuracy range of -10 to +30 seconds per day, and is offered with two strap options. On balance, owners value the Gruppo Gamma Vanguard Steel for its distinctive aged aesthetic and dial design, despite some reservations about the crystal.

From video reviewers

Movement accuracy is a notable strength, with one reviewer noting a -1.8 second per day deviation after initial testing. A weakness is the substantial price hike for the re-release model, which raises questions about whether the upgrades justify the cost. Reviewers disagree on the watch's originality, with one calling it "decidedly derivative" and the other not mentioning this aspect.

Nezumi Studios Voiture

The Nezumi Studios Voiture is widely praised for its retro motorsports design, attractive dial colorways, and excellent value, with owners noting it looks and feels more expensive than its price. Reviewers and owners alike highlight the well-executed dial finishing and the comfortable wearability of the 40mm case. Some owners appreciate the creator's passion for cars reflected in the design. The Seiko VK63 meca-quartz movement is mentioned positively for its accuracy and value. However, some owners express a desire for a mechanical movement, and the included vegan strap is noted as a point of complaint by some. One reviewer found the lume could be improved and the watch wore a touch heavy, while another noted the brushed silver hands can sometimes blend into the dial. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Nezumi Studios Voiture highly for its striking retro aesthetics and strong value proposition.

From video reviewers

The Nezumi Voiture's case finishing and integrated bracelet design deliver refined execution in a vintage motorsport-inspired package. Reviewer 2 wanted a higher beat rate movement than the Seiko NH35A and felt the bracelet clasp could be more substantial.
