What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

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.

Boldr Odyssey Regatta

The Boldr Odyssey Regatta is noted for its robust functionality and utilitarian design, powered by a Valjoux 7750 Elaboré movement. It features a tachymeter bezel graduated in knots and offers 500m water resistance. While its 45.5mm diameter, 18.2mm thickness, and 245g weight make it a substantial timepiece, it wears better than its dimensions might suggest. Overall, owners and reviewers highlight the Boldr Odyssey Regatta's workhorse movement and functional tool-watch capabilities.

From video reviewers

500m water resistance is a consistently praised feature. The watch's significant weight and large case size were noted as drawbacks by multiple reviewers. Reviewers disagreed on whether the bezel's 15-minute markings were redundant given the regatta complication.
