What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Traska Commuter Carbon Black

The Traska Commuter Carbon Black is widely praised for its excellent fit and finish, with owners noting its build quality rivals significantly more expensive watches. Its proprietary hardening coating offers notable scratch resistance, and the slim 10.5mm case and comfortable bracelet with toolless micro-adjustment contribute to its wearability. The Miyota 9039 movement powers the watch, and one reviewer noted its accuracy at -10/+20 seconds per day. Some owners find the bracelet potentially too large for wrists under 6.5 inches, and one griped about coarse brushing on the hands and initial stiffness in the crown threading. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Traska Commuter Carbon Black highly for its exceptional value and robust finishing.

From video reviewers

The watch's slim case and comfortable dimensions are praised. Reviewers found the $700 price point to be expensive.

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.
