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.

NOMOS Glashütte Zürich

NOMOS Glashütte Zürich is widely praised for its immaculate dial design and top-notch case finishing, with reviewers highlighting the beautifully finished in-house movement. Owners and reviewers alike commend its dual-timezone complication and satisfying time zone advancement. The 39.9mm or 40mm case offers comfortable wearability with a balanced presence. Some find the small hour markers outside the city ring slightly difficult to read at a glance, and the long lugs can be polarizing. The watch functions as a GMT or travel time piece, displaying two time zones simultaneously rather than 24. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the NOMOS Glashütte Zürich highly for its stunning dial and excellent movement finishing at its price point.
