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 Regatta

The Boldr Odyssey Regatta is noted for its robust functionality and utilitarian design, powered by a Valjoux 7750 Elaboré movement. It features a tachymeter bezel graduated in knots and offers 500m water resistance. While its 45.5mm diameter, 18.2mm thickness, and 245g weight make it a substantial timepiece, it wears better than its dimensions might suggest. Overall, owners and reviewers highlight the Boldr Odyssey Regatta's workhorse movement and functional tool-watch capabilities.

From video reviewers

500m water resistance is a consistently praised feature. The watch's significant weight and large case size were noted as drawbacks by multiple reviewers. Reviewers disagreed on whether the bezel's 15-minute markings were redundant given the regatta complication.

Vario 1918 Medic Brass

Owners widely praise the Vario 1918 Medic Brass for its crisp enamel dial, easy-to-read numerals, and cathedral hands, noting the brass case develops an attractive patina over time. However, the soft brass scratches easily, and one owner found the lume to be poor. Accuracy varies, with one example running slow by about 10 seconds per day and another owner deeming the Miyota 82s5 movement just okay. On balance, owners rate the Vario 1918 Medic Brass highly for its unique dial and the evolving character of its brass case.
