What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Seiko 5 Sports SKX series 2024 Special Edition

The Seiko 5 Sports SKX series 2024 Special Edition is praised for its faithful homage to the iconic SKX design, with owners appreciating its aesthetics. Some find the specifications are considered inferior to alternatives, and one enthusiast suggests removing "AUTOMATIC" from the dial. Accuracy figures reported by owners range from -5 to -8 seconds per day. Overall, owners view the Seiko 5 Sports SKX series 2024 Special Edition positively for its iconic design and value as a homage piece.

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.
