What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Brew Metric Digital Blend

The Brew Metric is praised for its fun, unique, and retro-inspired design, with reviewers noting its appliance-like execution and well-executed details. The compact 36mm wearability and tapered bracelet are highlighted as positives. However, its 13mm thickness and 50-meter water resistance are flagged as limitations, and the date window placement is a minor compromise due to the mechaquartz movement. Overall, reviewers find the Brew Metric to be a ton of fun at its $425 price point, appreciating its distinctive aesthetic.

Vario Empire Tachymètre Chronograph

The Vario Empire Tachymètre Chronograph is praised for its elegant, art deco-inspired multi-layered dial and comfortable leather strap. Owners note its 38mm diameter, 46mm lug-to-lug, and 11.5mm thickness, along with a sapphire crystal and 5 ATM water resistance. Criticisms include the use of different fonts for sub-dial and perimeter markers, and the absence of a traditional running second hand. Overall, owners appreciate the Vario Empire Tachymètre Chronograph for its distinctive dial design and comfortable wearability.
