What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Boldr Odyssey Original

Owners widely praise the Boldr Odyssey Original's value, with one noting the blue dial and bronze case develop an amazing patina and another highlighting the personalized purchase experience. The watch is available for $350 and comes in its original dive case. One owner observed that the 12 o'clock markers on a bronze variant were not straight. Overall, owners rate the Boldr Odyssey Original highly for its developing patina and strong value proposition.

Vario 1918 Medic Brass

Owners widely praise the Vario 1918 Medic Brass for its crisp enamel dial, easy-to-read numerals, and cathedral hands, noting the brass case develops an attractive patina over time. However, the soft brass scratches easily, and one owner found the lume to be poor. Accuracy varies, with one example running slow by about 10 seconds per day and another owner deeming the Miyota 82s5 movement just okay. On balance, owners rate the Vario 1918 Medic Brass highly for its unique dial and the evolving character of its brass case.
