What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Glycine Airman GMT

Owners widely appreciate the Glycine Airman GMT's ability to track three time zones with an easy-to-read dial layout. However, some owners find the GMT hand visually similar to the minute hand, suggesting a red paint for better distinction, a sentiment echoed by reviewers who note the thin, unlumed GMT hand can be hard to read against the black dial. One owner praises the 39mm sizing and 200m water resistance of a related model, noting its good build and finishing from when Glycine was independent. On balance, owners and reviewers find the Glycine Airman GMT offers practical multi-time zone tracking, though legibility of the GMT hand is a recurring point of discussion.

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.
