What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Vario VERSA Reversible Dual Time

Owners widely praise the Vario VERSA Reversible Dual Time for its satisfying reversible mechanism, excellent polishing, crisp dial printing, and exceptional value for a dual-face watch. Reviewers and owners alike highlight its novel reversible design, attractive Art Deco-inspired aesthetic, and the value it offers at its price point. Some owners also commend Vario's customer service. The 12mm thickness is a point of discussion, with some finding it surprisingly wearable due to its stepped case and curved bevels, while others note it as a concern due to the dual-watch construction. One reviewer points out the need to remove the watch to switch faces and the potential for smudging on the hidden side. The lack of lume on one dial is seen as a missed opportunity by one owner. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Vario VERSA Reversible Dual Time highly for its clever, well-executed reversible case design and appealing price point.

William Wood Beacon

The William Wood Beacon is praised for its bold flavors, particularly its prominent oak and rye influence, with tasting notes of candied orange peel, dried apricots, and baking spices, and a long, full finish. Some find its oak-forward profile overwhelming and its MSRP of $300 unreasonable. Overall, owners rate the William Wood Beacon highly for its bold flavors and character, with one owner awarding it a score of 9.4/10.
