What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

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.

Longines SPIRIT

Owners widely praise the Longines SPIRIT 37mm for its excellent value, refined finishing, and vintage-inspired design, with many highlighting its applied Arabic numerals and appealing dials. The smooth winding action and technical capabilities like the 72-hour power reserve and silicon hairspring are also noted strengths. However, some owners find the bracelet to be "tinny" and light, and the lack of tool-less micro-adjustments on the bracelet is a recurring point of dissatisfaction. The date window at 3 o'clock is polarizing, with some disliking its placement and color, and the lugs are perceived by some as long for the case size. One owner expressed concern about the serviceability of the exclusive L888.4 movement. Overall, owners and reviewers consider the Longines SPIRIT a highly competent and well-executed watch for its price, with its design and finishing being the primary draws.

From video reviewers

The watch features a COSC-certified automatic movement. Reviewers noted the excellent finishing on the case and applied numerals. The lume brightness was cited as a weakness.
