Brew MetricvsTimex Noah x Timex Oval Moon Phase

Brew Metric owners and reviewers praise its 1970s-inspired 36mm TV case design, with some finding its proportions satisfying on a 7-inch wrist and its 10.75mm to 10.8mm thickness comfortable. The dial is frequently lauded for its depth, textured indices, sunken subdials, and pleasing retro colorways, while the bracelet is noted for its dramatic taper and ability to mimic an integrated look. The VK68 meca-quartz movement's running seconds accurately hit all markers. However, some owners report quality control issues, including dial spots or missing lume, and one user found the bezel dented easily. The lug width is noted as 19.85mm, limiting strap compatibility, and the watch lacks lume. Opinions are split on how the 36mm case wears, with some finding it wears larger due to bracelet integration, while others praise its compact wearability. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Brew Metric highly for its distinctive retro design and comfortable wearability at its price point.

Owners widely praise the Timex Noah x Timex Oval Moon Phase for its gorgeous design and "wow" factor, with specific acclaim for the sharp dial markers, hands, gold accents, numerals, and date window, alongside solid fit and finish. The mesh bracelet is also noted as looking great. However, setting the moonphase complication is frequently described as difficult and tedious, sometimes requiring winding the date forward 24 hours or even a trip to a repair shop for a stuck second hand, with one owner noting the absence of a manual. Overall, owners rate the Timex Noah x Timex Oval Moon Phase highly for its stunning aesthetics and value, despite the challenging moonphase adjustment.
