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 Futurist

The Vario Futurist is widely praised for its fun, retro-futuristic design and unique faceted sapphire crystal, offering significant visual intrigue at an affordable price. Owners note its ability to catch the light beautifully. One reviewer flags that the recessed crown can be difficult to operate, and the 39mm case offers more wrist presence than expected.

From video reviewers

The faceted sapphire crystal and distinctive case finishing are praised. The crown placement and sharp case edges are noted as drawbacks. Reviewers disagreed on the watch's overall value proposition.
