What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

KUOE SOMBRERO 90-011

The comfortable jubilee bracelet and excellent lume are frequently mentioned positives. One owner notes the watch is "pretty thick in regards to height," and another points out minor criticism regarding the handset finish and crown edges, with indices and handset sharing a similar color that can obscure visibility. The KUOE SOMBRERO 90-011 utilizes a Miyota 9039 movement, with reported accuracy ranging from -10 to +30 seconds per day. Overall, owners rate the KUOE SOMBRERO 90-011 highly for its attractive design and value proposition.

From video reviewers

The KUOE SOMBRERO 90-011's vintage-inspired dial and hands are a strong point, with reviewers noting their aesthetic appeal. The watch's design is also praised for its uniqueness, with one reviewer calling it "design perfection." However, the relatively short 40-hour power reserve of the MIYOTA Cal.9039 automatic movement is a notable weakness.

Vario Empire Tachymètre Chronograph

The Vario Empire Tachymètre Chronograph is praised for its elegant, art deco-inspired multi-layered dial and comfortable leather strap. Owners note its 38mm diameter, 46mm lug-to-lug, and 11.5mm thickness, along with a sapphire crystal and 5 ATM water resistance. Criticisms include the use of different fonts for sub-dial and perimeter markers, and the absence of a traditional running second hand. Overall, owners appreciate the Vario Empire Tachymètre Chronograph for its distinctive dial design and comfortable wearability.
