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.

Pagani Design PD-1644 Rainbow

Pagani Design PD-1644 Rainbow owners widely praise its "wow factor" and "super fun" aesthetic, with one owner calling its bracelet "one of the best I have," and many agree it feels and looks more expensive than its $50 price. Some owners find the dial difficult to read due to reflections, and a few dislike the "fake meteorite" dial. One owner notes sharp clasp edges and difficult micro-adjustments on the Jubilee bracelet, though it is otherwise comfortable. The PD-1644 features a shield logo on the case back and a less rounded case shape compared to other models. Overall, owners rate the Pagani Design PD-1644 Rainbow highly for its impressive aesthetic and value at the price point.
