What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Grand Seiko SLGW003

The Grand Seiko SLGW003 is praised for its comfortable, lightweight Brilliant Hard Titanium case, meticulous finishing, and a clean, modern dial. Reviewers highlight the new 9SA4 manual-wind movement, noting its attractive finishing, 80-hour power reserve, and accuracy of -3/+5 seconds per day. It is considered a versatile dress watch blending vintage and future Grand Seiko spirit. The €11,700 price is noted as expensive, with some questioning its value. Overall, reviewers rate the Grand Seiko SLGW003 highly for its elegant design and impressive manual-wind movement at its flagship price point.

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.
