What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Ikepod Horizon

The Ikepod Horizon is praised for its unique case-in-case construction, seamless bezel integration, and floating dial, all housed within a 44mm titanium pebble-shaped case. Reviewers highlight the KAWS-designed dial featuring his signature "Chomper" teeth hour markers and the use of Sallaz polishing for a mirror finish on the case and bracelet. The watch is powered by the hand-finished KT7002 movement, based on the ETA 2892, offering a 50-hour power reserve. On balance, reviewers find the Ikepod Horizon a highly collectible piece due to its distinctive design and artistic collaboration.

Sternglas Merion

The value proposition of the Sternglas Merion is consistently praised by reviewers. Reviewers disagree on whether the Sternglas Merion is the best dive watch under €500.
