What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

anOrdain Model 3 Method

Owners widely report the anOrdain Model 3 Method's dial is unique, deep, and colorful, with a textured surface that plays with light. Reviewers praise its craftsmanship and elegant case, noting a slim 39mm profile. Some owners find the skinny lugs less appealing, and one forum member preferred the dial typography of an earlier model and disliked the Model 3 case. While no longer considered a value proposition due to price increases, the quality is deemed worth the cost. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the anOrdain Model 3 Method highly for its unique dial and elegant case craftsmanship.

Vario 1918 Trench Brass

Owners widely praise the Vario 1918 Trench Brass for its attractive, precisely made dial and case, with the evolving brass patina noted as a positive feature. The bund strap is considered comfortable and well-fitting by some, though others find it stiff and short for larger wrists. The lume is considered poor. The Miyota 82s5 movement is described as adequate, with accuracy ranging from about -10 seconds per day to simply running slow. On balance, owners rate the Vario 1918 Trench Brass highly for its fantastic looks and the unique character of its brass case.
