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 Worldtimer

The Glycine Airman Worldtimer is widely appreciated for its classic pilot watch design and comfortable wearability, with owners specifically praising the 40mm GL1048's size and the 39mm Airman 18's legibility and build quality. The Airman 18's dial lume pips are noted as weaker than its hands, and some owners find the GMT hand on certain models difficult to read due to its thinness and lack of lume. Accuracy is generally acceptable, with one owner reporting no flaws and another noting a Sellita-based movement kept acceptable time. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Glycine Airman Worldtimer highly for its faithful reproduction of a classic design and excellent value.

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.
