Reviews

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

Bremont Waterman Apex

Owners praise the Bremont Waterman Apex for its impressive and colorful design, featuring a retro-inspired wave-patterned dial and shark fin motif. Reviewers highlight its robust build, DLC-coated case barrel, and ceramic bezel, with excellent low-light visibility from distinct blue and green Super-LumiNova glows. Some owners find Bremont watches appealing, on par with brands like Rolex, and commend the company's first-class service, though others question the pricing. The Bremont Waterman Apex is a 43mm watch with 500m water resistance and GMT functionality, powered by an automatic GMT movement. However, its 16.5mm thickness and 51mm lug-to-lug measurement make it a substantial watch not suited for smaller wrists. Overall, owners rate the Bremont Waterman Apex highly for its striking design and robust build quality, despite some concerns regarding its price point.

Elliot Brown REME limited edition

Owners are drawn to the Elliot Brown REME limited edition's rugged, "bad ass" look and no-nonsense design, with reviewers appreciating its genuinely rugged tool watch build and blasted finish. One owner notes the stock rubber strap is too short for a 7.5-inch wrist, and another expresses concerns about the crystal and legibility. The crowns are described as slightly undersized for easy adjustment. Overall, owners and reviewers appreciate the Elliot Brown REME limited edition for its rugged tool watch aesthetic and build quality.
