What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Islander Red October V2 Dive Watch with Radiant Blue Dial #ISL-323

Owners widely praise the Islander Red October V2 Dive Watch with Radiant Blue Dial #ISL-323 for its stunning radiant blue dial and red seconds hand, with some noting its resemblance to a luxury model. The watch is frequently cited as offering excellent value for its price. Some owners express a dislike for the circle/triangle logo, while others appreciate the availability of both 38mm and 43mm size options. Overall, owners rate the Islander Red October V2 Dive Watch with Radiant Blue Dial #ISL-323 highly for its aesthetic appeal and value proposition.

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.
