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 Lite

The Brew Metric Lite is praised for its comfortable wear and attractive dial. Owners note the Miyota 6T27 automatic movement, which offers a 40-hour power reserve and features a signed rotor. It includes applied indices with polished "mountain-top" details and lume pips. Some owners, however, express a desire for a larger case and crown. Overall, owners appreciate the Brew Metric Lite for its comfortable wear and beautiful dial.

Praesidus A-5 UDT

The Praesidus A-5 UDT is noted for its historically inspired design, featuring an oversized crown cap and chain that pays homage to WW2 canteen watches. Reviewers highlight its functional dial with embossed, Super-LumiNova filled numerals and markers for legibility, alongside 200m water resistance and a 38mm brushed stainless steel case. Some owners find the 11.7mm thickness problematic, describing it as disproportionately tall. The watch's ana/digi functionality and connection to special operations forces are also praised. On balance, owners and reviewers appreciate the Praesidus A-5 UDT for its unique historical design elements and functional dial.
