What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Garrick S3 Timepiece

Owners widely praise the Garrick S3 Timepiece for its bespoke experience and spectacular finished product, with one owner finding it beautiful. Reviewers note the hand-frosted brass dial and open-worked dial options, as well as the high level of manual finishing. The manually wound UT-G04 and in-house DB-G07 calibres are regulated to less than 3 seconds per day and offer a 45-hour power reserve. One reviewer flags that the central hands lack sufficient contrast for quick time reading. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Garrick S3 Timepiece highly for its impressive finishing and bespoke nature.

Vaer DS2 Meridian Quartz

The Vaer DS2 Meridian Quartz is lauded for its wearability, with reviewers and owners consistently praising its 39mm case size as a perfect fit, noting its thinness at 10.4mm. The watch features a satisfying 120-click coin-edge bezel with minimal back play and comes with two straps for $239, powered by a Miyota GM12 quartz movement offering a three-year battery life. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Vaer DS2 Meridian Quartz highly for its comfortable wearability and accessible price point.
