What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Borealis Watch Co. Sintra

Borealis Watch Co. Sintra owners widely praise its well-executed design, featuring applied indices and a shimmering blue dial that some prefer over more expensive alternatives. The timepiece is noted for excellent build quality and high-end specifications for its price, including a Miyota 90S5 movement and a premium bracelet. One owner did not purchase due to its size not being 39mm or less, while the 90xx movements are considered reliable and accurate, though some find them noisy. On balance, owners rate the Borealis Watch Co. Sintra highly for its impressive design and build quality at its price point.

Vario 1918 Trench Brass

Owners widely praise the Vario 1918 Trench Brass for its attractive, precisely made dial and case, with the evolving brass patina noted as a positive feature. The bund strap is considered comfortable and well-fitting by some, though others find it stiff and short for larger wrists. The lume is considered poor. The Miyota 82s5 movement is described as adequate, with accuracy ranging from about -10 seconds per day to simply running slow. On balance, owners rate the Vario 1918 Trench Brass highly for its fantastic looks and the unique character of its brass case.
