What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Ferro Race Master Automatic

Owners widely praise the Ferro Race Master Automatic for its value, with one enthusiast highlighting the British racing green dial, strong lume, beautifully engraved case back, and comfortable 39mm brushed steel case. The transparent movement descriptions are also appreciated. However, one owner reported poor communication and suspected delays regarding a pre-production order. On balance, owners rate the Ferro Race Master Automatic highly for its dial aesthetics and comfortable wearability at its price point.

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.
