What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Boldr Odyssey Bronze

The Boldr Odyssey Bronze is widely praised for its robust, ship-like aesthetic and substantial feel, with its meteorite dial and OEM Horween strap highlighted as unique features. Owners feel the style, fit, finish, and specifications compensate for criticisms regarding the movements used at its price point. On balance, owners rate the Boldr Odyssey Bronze highly for its distinctive aesthetic and quality finishing.

From video reviewers

The 500m water resistance and Lumicast lume are standout features. The 45mm+ case size is a drawback for some wrists.

Vario 1918 Trench Brass

Owners widely praise the Vario 1918 Trench Brass for its attractive, precisely made dial and case, with the evolving brass patina noted as a positive feature. The bund strap is considered comfortable and well-fitting by some, though others find it stiff and short for larger wrists. The lume is considered poor. The Miyota 82s5 movement is described as adequate, with accuracy ranging from about -10 seconds per day to simply running slow. On balance, owners rate the Vario 1918 Trench Brass highly for its fantastic looks and the unique character of its brass case.
