What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Ikepod Horopod HO20

The Ikepod Horopod HO20 is praised for its elegant and wearable design, reimagining a classic with a modern aesthetic. Reviewers note its 44mm titanium case wears like a 41mm and features a round, brushed titanium construction with a redesigned titanium bracelet. The Op Art dials come in six colors with unique textures, using a new old stock ETA 2824 automatic movement with a 38-hour power reserve, retailing for $3,490. One reviewer found the rose gold-tone dial's texture less appealing and legibility compromised by the lack of markers. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Ikepod Horopod HO20 highly for its wearable design and modern aesthetic at an accessible price point.

KUOE ROYAL SMITH 90-006

Owners widely praise the KUOE ROYAL SMITH 90-006 for its visual appeal and sapphire crystal with AR coating. The watch functions correctly and keeps time at approximately +5 seconds per day on the wrist, powered by a Miyota 9039 movement. On balance, owners value the watch's aesthetics and specifications, though some question its overall value proposition.

From video reviewers

The watch's unique blend of modern and retro elements is a notable strength, with a textured ivory waffle dial and Breguet numerals giving it the look of a vintage watch from the 1950s and 1960s. A potential drawback is the ~$770 USD price point, which is significant for a microbrand. Reviewers disagree on the movement's accuracy, with one reviewer noting it is noisy and another describing it as a "Japanese-manufactured high beat premium automatic movement".
