What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Vario Futurist

The Vario Futurist is widely praised for its fun, retro-futuristic design and unique faceted sapphire crystal, offering significant visual intrigue at an affordable price. Owners note its ability to catch the light beautifully. One reviewer flags that the recessed crown can be difficult to operate, and the 39mm case offers more wrist presence than expected.

From video reviewers

The faceted sapphire crystal and distinctive case finishing are praised. The crown placement and sharp case edges are noted as drawbacks. Reviewers disagreed on the watch's overall value proposition.

Yema Flygraf Bi-Compax French Air Force

Owners widely praise the Yema Flygraf Bi-Compax French Air Force for its attractive, toolish aesthetic and excellent quality for the price, noting the legible Type A dial and 40mm titanium case. However, the acrylic crystal scratches easily, and the titanium case is prone to marking. The mecha-quartz movement's chrono timer sweeps rather than ticks, and one owner questions the purpose of the oversized crown. The in-house Yema 2000 movement is accurate at +/- 10 seconds per day but has a 42-hour power reserve, and some owners express concerns regarding Yema's past quality control and customer service. On balance, owners rate the Yema Flygraf Bi-Compax French Air Force highly for its attractive design and value, despite concerns about material durability and brand service history.
