What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Sternglas Lumatik

Owners praise the Sternglas Lumatik for its playful Bauhaus design, fresh color palette, and unique bicolored lume. Reviewers highlight its comfortable 38mm case and a 60-hour power reserve. The Miyota 8315 movement is noted as less robust than premium options. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Sternglas Lumatik highly for its fun design and distinctive lume at its price point.

Vario 1918 Trench Brass

Owners widely praise the Vario 1918 Trench Brass for its attractive, precisely made dial and case, with the evolving brass patina noted as a positive feature. The bund strap is considered comfortable and well-fitting by some, though others find it stiff and short for larger wrists. The lume is considered poor. The Miyota 82s5 movement is described as adequate, with accuracy ranging from about -10 seconds per day to simply running slow. On balance, owners rate the Vario 1918 Trench Brass highly for its fantastic looks and the unique character of its brass case.

From video reviewers

The Seiko NH35A movement's accuracy and power reserve are discussed. The Miyota 82S5 gilt movement is also mentioned. The watch's value is questioned when compared to competitors like the Seiko 5.
