What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Sternglas Lumatik

Owners praise the Sternglas Lumatik for its playful Bauhaus design, fresh color palette, and unique bicolored lume. Reviewers highlight its comfortable 38mm case and a 60-hour power reserve. The Miyota 8315 movement is noted as less robust than premium options. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Sternglas Lumatik highly for its fun design and distinctive lume at its price point.

Vario 1918 SG60 Merlion Trench

The Vario 1918 SG60 Merlion Trench is widely seen as a commemorative keepsake, particularly for those celebrating Singapore's 60th anniversary or born in 1965. Reviewers note its vibrant red enamel dial and 37mm steel case with fixed wire lugs, along with 100m water resistance. One owner reported the watch is "patina-ing well" after three years, and the Miyota 82S5 movement is considered a reliable, cost-effective base. Overall, owners and reviewers appreciate the Vario 1918 SG60 Merlion Trench as a unique souvenir and tribute piece, with its distinctive enamel dial being a key draw.
