What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Ikepod Kaws

Owners are divided on the Ikepod Kaws, with some finding its design akin to a toy watch and questioning its artistic merit, while others appreciate it specifically as a Kaws collaboration, though some still feel the execution could be improved. One owner describes the watch as having a meaningless collaboration and poor execution, looking like a toy and being terrible, while another finds the Kaws aesthetic worse on a watch. On balance, the consensus among owners is that the Ikepod Kaws is a polarizing piece, with its appeal largely dependent on individual appreciation for the Kaws artistic style.

Glycine Airman Contemporary GMT

Owners widely praise the Glycine Airman Contemporary GMT for its outstanding value and attractive design, noting its ability to track three time zones and the functional dual 12-hour and 24-hour dial with a precisely toothed, free-spinning bezel that can be locked. Some owners find the GMT hand's similarity to the minute hand frustrating, and the ETA movement can exhibit a misaligned GMT hand. One owner notes the lume pips are weaker than the hands, while another highlights its 200m water resistance and considered it a great beater. Overall, owners rate the Glycine Airman Contemporary GMT highly for its unique functionality and value proposition.

From video reviewers

The case finishing and dial details are praised. The watch offers exceptional value with its Swiss Made GMT functionality for under $500.
