What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Impossible Watch Company Art Deco

The Impossible Watch Company Art Deco is praised for its cool, awesome design that captures the art deco look. Owners appreciate the "exploding numerals" and the curved case that contours the wrist, noting it wears "a bit like a modern smart watch." Some find the Seagull 1700 manual wind movement awkward at the $675 price point. On balance, owners rate the Impossible Watch Company Art Deco highly for its distinctive design and comfortable wearability, despite some reservations about the manual wind movement at its price.

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.
