What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Bremont Altitude MB Meteor

The Bremont Altitude MB Meteor features a 42mm Grade 2 titanium case with black DLC finishing and a refined Trip-Tick construction. Reviewers note its slimmer profile and reduced lug-to-lug distance make it more wearable than previous MB models. The watch has a bi-directional Roto-Click inner bezel, a black dial with Felix the Cat imagery and bright yellow accents, and is powered by the automatic calibre BB14-AH with a 68-hour power reserve. Overall, reviewers highlight the Bremont Altitude MB Meteor's improved wearability and distinctive design elements.

KUOE OLD SMITH 90-001

KUOE OLD SMITH is widely praised for its vintage aesthetic and comfortable 35mm wearability, with owners noting its attractive bronze case and dial contrast. Reviewers and owners alike highlight its excellent accuracy. However, the case finishing is considered average for the price, and the lume fades quickly. Some find the small date window difficult to read, and the Seiko NH38 movement is described as noisy. The 18mm lug width and PVD-coated strap hardware are also noted as drawbacks. Overall, owners and reviewers find the KUOE OLD SMITH to be a compelling vintage field watch offering good value, particularly for its aesthetic appeal and accuracy.
