What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Islander x The Urban Gentry "Rangemaster II GMT" Limited Edition Watch #ISL-267

Owners widely praise the Islander x The Urban Gentry "Rangemaster II GMT" Limited Edition Watch #ISL-267 for its good fit and finish, unique design, and comfortable wearability, with many noting its integrated bracelet and case dimensions make it wear smaller than its specs suggest. Some owners find the dial cluttered and unbalanced, with specific criticism directed at the date window placement and the hour hand, while others appreciate the case's skeletonized lugs and the overall bold, retro-futuristic aesthetic. Accuracy figures range from +3.6s/day to more variable performance, and the crown is frequently described as slightly hard to manipulate due to its guards. On balance, owners value the Islander x The Urban Gentry "Rangemaster II GMT" Limited Edition Watch #ISL-267 for its originality and finishing at its price point, despite some polarizing design elements.

Brew Metric

The Brew Metric is widely praised for its 1970s-inspired retro design, with reviewers and owners specifically highlighting its unique dial aesthetics, compact 36mm case size, and comfortable wearability on various wrist sizes. The watch's finishing is frequently lauded, with particular appreciation for its contrasting brushed and polished surfaces and well-executed gold treatment. Owners also note the pleasing feel of the pushers and crown, the accuracy of the VK68 meca-quartz movement, and the sapphire crystal. However, some owners report quality control issues, including dial defects and missing lume, and a few find the bezel dents easily. The bracelet is a point of contention, with some finding it uncomfortable and prone to pulling arm hairs, while others praise its dramatic taper. The watch's 50-meter water resistance is considered cautious by one reviewer, and the lug width of 19.85mm limits strap options.

From video reviewers

The watch's unique design and compact dimensions are praised. The bracelet is noted as stiff and lacking flexibility. Reviewers were divided on whether the Seiko NH35A movement or the meca-quartz movement offered better value at the price point.
