What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Bremont Argylle

The Bremont U-2 JET is praised for its exceptional accuracy, running between +0 and +1 seconds per day. It features a black DLC-treated steel case with a knurled aluminum mid-section and a smoked sapphire display caseback. The dial incorporates hash marks and Arabic numerals with tinted lume, complemented by heat-blued steel hands. The inner timing ring is bi-directional and operated by a crown at 4:00, which is described as satisfying to use but awkward on the wrist. Overall, owners and reviewers highlight the Bremont U-2 JET's precise timekeeping and distinctive case construction.

Vario 1918 Trench Brass

Owners widely praise the Vario 1918 Trench Brass for its attractive, precisely made dial and case, with the evolving brass patina noted as a positive feature. The bund strap is considered comfortable and well-fitting by some, though others find it stiff and short for larger wrists. The lume is considered poor. The Miyota 82s5 movement is described as adequate, with accuracy ranging from about -10 seconds per day to simply running slow. On balance, owners rate the Vario 1918 Trench Brass highly for its fantastic looks and the unique character of its brass case.

From video reviewers

The Seiko NH35A movement's accuracy and power reserve are discussed. The Miyota 82S5 gilt movement is also mentioned. The watch's value is questioned when compared to competitors like the Seiko 5.
