What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Farer Portobello - Nearly New

Farer Portobello - Nearly New is widely praised for its striking good looks and build quality, exceeding expectations from website photos. Owners appreciate its unique design and the value it offers, with one noting the manual movement and another highlighting the "pop" of its color combinations. The 38.5mm size is considered acceptable on a 7.5-inch wrist. One owner reported a small white spec on the sapphire crystal, suggesting it was likely internal and not a factory defect. Overall, owners rate the Farer Portobello - Nearly New highly for its visually striking design and perceived value.

Brew Super Metric

Owners widely praise the Brew Super Metric's unique, asymmetrical, and colorful 70s-inspired design, with many appreciating its finishing and dial details for the price. Some owners find the integrated bracelet can be a hair-puller, and the watch wears larger than its 36mm dimensions due to the square case and bracelet. The lume is noted as weak, and some find the dial graphics busy, though others love the colorful, essence-keeping 2.0 design. On balance, owners rate the Brew Super Metric highly for its distinctive style and value, with many finding it a fun and comfortable daily wearer.

From video reviewers

The Brew Super Metric's Meca-Quartz Chrono functionality is one of the best the reviewer has seen. The watch's unique design is a key part of its charm. The Seiko meca-quartz caliber contributes to its value for the price. The lume could be improved, as it's not as bright as some other watches in its class. The price may not be the cheapest option in its class.
