What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Sugess MoonPhase Master S389

Owners widely praise the Sugess MoonPhase Master S389 for its beautiful dial and glowing moonphase, with some finding it a stunner that exceeds expectations and a bargain for the price. However, reviewers and owners alike flag rotor noise and thickness as potential drawbacks, and one owner reported receiving a defective unit. Accuracy is reported at -6 seconds per day, and while the dial features applied markers and polished hands, the movement finishing is noted as rough under magnification. Overall, owners rate the Sugess MoonPhase Master S389 highly for its aesthetic appeal and value, despite some concerns regarding rotor noise and build quality consistency.

Vario 1918 Medic Brass

Owners widely praise the Vario 1918 Medic Brass for its crisp enamel dial, easy-to-read numerals, and cathedral hands, noting the brass case develops an attractive patina over time. However, the soft brass scratches easily, and one owner found the lume to be poor. Accuracy varies, with one example running slow by about 10 seconds per day and another owner deeming the Miyota 82s5 movement just okay. On balance, owners rate the Vario 1918 Medic Brass highly for its unique dial and the evolving character of its brass case.
