What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Hamilton Khaki Aviation Takeoff Auto Chrono

The Hamilton Khaki Aviation Takeoff Auto Chrono is noted for its unique bullhead chronograph design and detachable functionality for desktop display, with a PVD case and yellow accents. Owners praise its solid construction, precise indices, and smooth bezel action, alongside a detailed champagne dial, crisp printing, and retro hands with good lume. However, its extreme thickness and 46.3mm width are flagged as compromising daily wearability, and some find the sizable crown guards hinder usability, while a rattling bracelet with a difficult-to-remove design is also mentioned. The watch uses the Hamilton H-31 automatic chronograph movement with a 60-hour power reserve and is a limited edition of 1999 units. On balance, owners and reviewers appreciate the Hamilton Khaki Aviation Takeoff Auto Chrono for its distinctive design and pilot-inspired legibility, despite practical concerns regarding its size and wearability.

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.
