What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Oblvlo IM Tourbillon

Owners widely praise the Oblvlo IM Tourbillon for its skeletonized dial and carbon fiber case finishing, noting it looks more expensive than its price. However, some owners find the minute markers difficult to read, impacting time setting, and accuracy averages around -10 seconds per day. Concerns also exist regarding long-term reliability and parts availability for Chinese tourbillons. On balance, owners rate the Oblvlo IM Tourbillon highly for its visually striking aesthetic and perceived value, despite practical readability and accuracy drawbacks.

Brew Retrograph

The Brew Retrograph is widely praised for its unique 1970s "TV Dial" aesthetic, thin profile, and comfortable wearability, with owners appreciating its well-finished rectangular case featuring alternating polishing and brushing, and its sunburst dials with contrasting matte subdials. Reviewers and owners consistently highlight the Seiko VK64 meca-quartz movement for its solid performance, instantaneous chronograph reset with good tactile feel, and quartz accuracy, all at an affordable price point. Some owners note the lack of a running second hand and that the date change is not instant, while one owner found the strap needed improvement. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Brew Retrograph highly for its distinctive design and excellent value, particularly praising its comfortable wearability and the satisfying meca-quartz chronograph function.
