What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Brew 8-Bit V2

The Brew 8-Bit V2 is praised for its casually elegant, versatile rectangular design that subtly balances 8-bit gaming and coffee themes, with solid build quality and finishing. Owners note the left subdial tracks 60 minutes and the right indicates day/night, with the chronograph's second hand only moving when activated. Criticisms include the lack of a seconds subdial, no lume, minor movement quirks like the chronograph minute hand jumping upon reset, and a slightly off-center yellow part on the hour hand. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Brew 8-Bit V2 highly for its unique design and solid build quality at its price point.

anOrdain Model 1 (Group Buy)

Owners widely praise the anOrdain Model 1 (Group Buy) for its exceptional vitreous enamel dials, custom typography, and elegant design, noting the dials' unique craftsmanship and light-reflecting qualities. The updated G100 movement is appreciated for its extended power reserve, and the case finishing is described as well-executed with a high-polish finish. Some reviewers suggest the case could be slightly slimmer. The significant wait time, ranging from nearly two years to over two and a half years, is a notable drawback frequently mentioned by owners. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the anOrdain Model 1 (Group Buy) highly for its unique enamel dials and appealing design at its price point.
