What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Ikepod Megapod x Ace Jewelers x Laser 314 — This Is Our Time

The Ikepod Megapod x Ace Jewelers x Laser 314 — This Is Our Time is an art-focused collaboration with a bold street-art design. Its 46mm UFO-inspired case wears smaller due to its lugless, rounded shape. The watch features a Miyota Caliber 9039 automatic movement with a 42-hour power reserve and an integrated silicon strap. Reviewers note the black seconds hand is nearly invisible against the matte black dial, making precise time-telling difficult. Overall, reviewers highlight the Ikepod Megapod x Ace Jewelers x Laser 314 — This Is Our Time for its unique art-focused design and wearable case shape, despite a readability challenge.

Vario Empire Tachymètre Chronograph

The Vario Empire Tachymètre Chronograph is praised for its elegant, art deco-inspired multi-layered dial and comfortable leather strap. Owners note its 38mm diameter, 46mm lug-to-lug, and 11.5mm thickness, along with a sapphire crystal and 5 ATM water resistance. Criticisms include the use of different fonts for sub-dial and perimeter markers, and the absence of a traditional running second hand. Overall, owners appreciate the Vario Empire Tachymètre Chronograph for its distinctive dial design and comfortable wearability.
