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.

Wolbrook Outrider Professional Mecaquartz 38

Owners widely praise the Wolbrook Outrider Professional Mecaquartz 38 for its excellent finishing, attractive design, and smooth 4-tick-per-second mecaquartz movement. The bright and long-lasting lume, easy-to-use crown, 38mm case with 20mm drilled lugs, and 120m water resistance are also noted positively. The Hesalite box crystal and beads of rice bracelet contribute to its vintage feel, powered by a Seiko VH60 mecaquartz movement. Some owners find the 38mm size too small for their preference. Overall, owners rate the Wolbrook Outrider Professional Mecaquartz 38 highly for its finishing and vintage aesthetic at the price.
