What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Hamilton Jazzmaster Skeleton Auto

The Hamilton Jazzmaster Skeleton Auto is praised for its redesigned dial that balances complexity and legibility, forming an "H" logo and highlighting the H-10-S movement. Owners appreciate the 80-hour power reserve and the seamless blend of the bracelet with the lugs. The watch is available in 40mm and 36mm sizes, with prices ranging from A$1,925 to A$2,200, and features 50m water resistance. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Hamilton Jazzmaster Skeleton Auto highly for its distinctive dial design and impressive power reserve at its price point.

From video reviewers

The 80-hour power reserve from the H-10 automatic movement is a notable strength. Water resistance to 5 ATM is considered on the lower side for the price point.

Vario 1918 Medic Brass

Owners widely praise the Vario 1918 Medic Brass for its crisp enamel dial, easy-to-read numerals, and cathedral hands, noting the brass case develops an attractive patina over time. However, the soft brass scratches easily, and one owner found the lume to be poor. Accuracy varies, with one example running slow by about 10 seconds per day and another owner deeming the Miyota 82s5 movement just okay. On balance, owners rate the Vario 1918 Medic Brass highly for its unique dial and the evolving character of its brass case.
