What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Straton Yacht Racer Quartz

Owners report the Straton Yacht Racer Quartz is in excellent condition with flawless sapphire crystal and lumed bezel, and some find the 42mm case a bit wide. Reviewers praise the Straton Yacht Racer Quartz as a fun, colorful, and quirky chronograph offering exceptional value under $300 with a retro design and a reliable Miyota quartz movement. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Straton Yacht Racer Quartz highly for its exceptional value and retro design.

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.
