Citizen GarrisonvsBrew Super Metric
The numbers, the dial colors, the calibers — laid out so you can stop flipping between tabs.
Owners + reviewers, side by side
Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.
Owners widely praise the Citizen Garrison for its excellent legibility, comfortable size for slender wrists, and impressive value at its price point. The brushed case finishing is noted as surprisingly well-done, and the green dial is a particular highlight for many. Accuracy is frequently lauded, with one owner calling it the most accurate quartz watch they've owned, and the solar battery is appreciated. However, some owners wish for a smaller case size, and opinions are split on the bracelet and strap, with some finding them comfortable and others suggesting upgrades. The day-date complication is also a point of discussion, with some preferring its integration and others desiring a cleaner dial. Overall, owners rate the Citizen Garrison highly for its legibility and value, making it a favored tool watch.
The solar-powered quartz movement is a practical advantage. The fixed bezel and non-screwdown crown are standard for its price point, but the lack of a screw-down crown might be a consideration for some.
Owners widely praise the Brew Super Metric's unique, asymmetrical, and colorful 70s-inspired design, with many appreciating its finishing and dial details for the price. Some owners find the integrated bracelet can be a hair-puller, and the watch wears larger than its 36mm dimensions due to the square case and bracelet. The lume is noted as weak, and some find the dial graphics busy, though others love the colorful, essence-keeping 2.0 design. On balance, owners rate the Brew Super Metric highly for its distinctive style and value, with many finding it a fun and comfortable daily wearer.
The Brew Super Metric's Meca-Quartz Chrono functionality is one of the best the reviewer has seen. The watch's unique design is a key part of its charm. The Seiko meca-quartz caliber contributes to its value for the price. The lume could be improved, as it's not as bright as some other watches in its class. The price may not be the cheapest option in its class.
