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.

Norqain Wild ONE JP 42mm

The Norqain Wild ONE JP 42mm is praised for its innovative NORTEQ carbon composite case, which makes it exceptionally light at 84 grams and durable, housing a reliable, chronometer-certified Kenissi NN20/1 movement with a 70-hour power reserve. Reviewers highlight its comfortable and lightweight wearability, excellent legibility due to X1 Super-LumiNova on hands and markers, and a layered dial with a repeating double-N logo pattern. The watch offers 200m water resistance and shock absorption, making it suitable for active wear. However, its 49.4mm lug-to-lug length means it is not a compact watch, and its busy dial and strap patterns are seen as potentially narrowing its appeal, with a suggestion that less ornamentation could lead to a more refined aesthetic. The luxury price of US$7,450 is noted as a significant factor.
