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

The Brew Metric is widely praised for its 1970s-inspired retro design, with reviewers and owners specifically highlighting its unique dial aesthetics, compact 36mm case size, and comfortable wearability on various wrist sizes. The watch's finishing is frequently lauded, with particular appreciation for its contrasting brushed and polished surfaces and well-executed gold treatment. Owners also note the pleasing feel of the pushers and crown, the accuracy of the VK68 meca-quartz movement, and the sapphire crystal. However, some owners report quality control issues, including dial defects and missing lume, and a few find the bezel dents easily. The bracelet is a point of contention, with some finding it uncomfortable and prone to pulling arm hairs, while others praise its dramatic taper. The watch's 50-meter water resistance is considered cautious by one reviewer, and the lug width of 19.85mm limits strap options.

From video reviewers

The watch's unique design and compact dimensions are praised. The bracelet is noted as stiff and lacking flexibility. Reviewers were divided on whether the Seiko NH35A movement or the meca-quartz movement offered better value at the price point.

Wolbrook Skindiver WT Professional

The Wolbrook Skindiver WT Professional is praised by owners for its straightforward design, retro aesthetic, and comfortable Beads of Rice bracelet with ample micro-adjustments. Reviewers and owners highlight its beautiful two-tone color, bold green dial, and box sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating. Accuracy figures vary, with one source stating the Miyota 8315 movement is adjusted in France to ±15 seconds per day, while another owner notes it as a mecaquartz with good accuracy for its price. Some owners find the 40mm case wears smaller than expected, though one noted it felt larger. Feedback on the movement is mixed, with some preferring the Miyota 8315 over the 8215, and one commenter suggesting a Sellita SW200 would be more appropriate for the price. One reviewer expressed disappointment with mismatched hand and lume colors, poor lume performance, bezel wobble, and a high-sitting strap.
