What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Glycine Airpilot Chrono

Owners widely praise the Glycine Airpilot Chrono for its exceptional value, with many stating it is worth twice its price and offers finishing comparable to higher-end brands. Specific highlights include the dial's depth and versatility, the symmetrical design with the date at 6 o'clock, the well-integrated 24-hour complication, and the applied indices. The screw-down crown, sapphire crystal, and 100m water resistance are also frequently cited as strong points, as is the good lume. Some owners find the red chapter ring numerals too small, and the standard Sellita SW200 movement and average clasp are noted as drawbacks. The 41mm case with a 52mm lug-to-lug distance is considered by some to wear large on smaller wrists, though curved lugs help with wearability. Overall, owners rate the Glycine Airpilot Chrono highly for its stunning design and exceptional value at its price point.

Brew Super Metric

Owners widely praise the Brew Super Metric's unique, asymmetrical, and colorful 70s-inspired design, with many appreciating its finishing and dial details for the price. Some owners find the integrated bracelet can be a hair-puller, and the watch wears larger than its 36mm dimensions due to the square case and bracelet. The lume is noted as weak, and some find the dial graphics busy, though others love the colorful, essence-keeping 2.0 design. On balance, owners rate the Brew Super Metric highly for its distinctive style and value, with many finding it a fun and comfortable daily wearer.

From video reviewers

The Brew Super Metric's Meca-Quartz Chrono functionality is one of the best the reviewer has seen. The watch's unique design is a key part of its charm. The Seiko meca-quartz caliber contributes to its value for the price. The lume could be improved, as it's not as bright as some other watches in its class. The price may not be the cheapest option in its class.
