What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Sternglas Kanton

The Sternglas Kanton is praised for its refined Bauhaus-inspired design, featuring a silver-plated dial and luminous hands and dots for excellent legibility. Owners and reviewers highlight its comfortable 39mm case size, measuring 10mm thick, and the visible STP 1-11 automatic movement through a sapphire crystal case back. Accuracy figures vary, with one source noting +15 seconds per day, while another suggests improved accuracy over previous models. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Sternglas Kanton highly for its blend of Bauhaus design and Swiss precision at an affordable price point.

Brew Retrograph

The Brew Retrograph is widely praised for its unique 1970s "TV Dial" aesthetic, thin profile, and comfortable wearability, with owners appreciating its well-finished rectangular case featuring alternating polishing and brushing, and its sunburst dials with contrasting matte subdials. Reviewers and owners consistently highlight the Seiko VK64 meca-quartz movement for its solid performance, instantaneous chronograph reset with good tactile feel, and quartz accuracy, all at an affordable price point. Some owners note the lack of a running second hand and that the date change is not instant, while one owner found the strap needed improvement. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Brew Retrograph highly for its distinctive design and excellent value, particularly praising its comfortable wearability and the satisfying meca-quartz chronograph function.
