What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Citizen The Citizen Caliber A060

The Citizen Caliber A060 is widely praised for its exceptional accuracy, with most owners reporting it runs within or very close to the advertised ±5 seconds per year, though some note slight deviations. Reviewers and owners highlight the scratch-resistant, gold-hued titanium case and the unique washi paper dial with gold leaf as standout aesthetic features, contributing to its wearability and perceived value. The Eco-Drive movement's perpetual calendar and long power reserve are also frequently cited strengths, with a decorated 23-jewel caliber noted as a surprise for a quartz movement. One owner experienced issues requiring repair in Japan after the watch was not kept charged, and some owners express concern about the rechargeable battery as a potential failure point. Overall, owners and reviewers rate The Citizen Caliber A060 highly for its blend of high-end finishing, impressive accuracy, and innovative solar technology.

Brew Super Metric

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.

From video reviewers

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.
