What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Pinion Pure Steel

Owners widely praise the Pinion Pure Steel's balanced 38mm case size and 44mm lug-to-lug, fitting most wrists well. The dial is described as clear and essential, though reviewers note the lack of a minute track makes precise minute setting difficult. Accuracy is regulated in-house to +/- 5 to +/- 15 seconds per day. Some commenters found the white straps on featured watches to look "horrible." Overall, owners and reviewers appreciate the Pinion Pure Steel for its well-proportioned case and essential dial design.

Brew Super Metric

Owners widely praise the Brew Super Metric's unique, asymmetrical, and colorful 70s-inspired design, with many appreciating its finishing and dial details for the price. Some owners find the integrated bracelet can be a hair-puller, and the watch wears larger than its 36mm dimensions due to the square case and bracelet. The lume is noted as weak, and some find the dial graphics busy, though others love the colorful, essence-keeping 2.0 design. On balance, owners rate the Brew Super Metric highly for its distinctive style and value, with many finding it a fun and comfortable daily wearer.

From video reviewers

The Brew Super Metric's Meca-Quartz Chrono functionality is one of the best the reviewer has seen. The watch's unique design is a key part of its charm. The Seiko meca-quartz caliber contributes to its value for the price. The lume could be improved, as it's not as bright as some other watches in its class. The price may not be the cheapest option in its class.
