What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Marathon GPQ (General Purpose Quartz) Field Watch

Owners widely praise the Marathon GPQ (General Purpose Quartz) Field Watch for its rugged quartz movement, accuracy, and tritium lume. Reviewers and owners alike highlight its solid build, legibility, and comfortable, lightweight wear, making it particularly well-suited for smaller wrists. Some owners, however, consider the price point of $350-420 to be somewhat high. On balance, the consensus is that owners rate the Marathon GPQ (General Purpose Quartz) Field Watch highly for its dependable quartz accuracy and excellent tritium lume.

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.
