What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Brew Retrograph

The Brew Retrograph is widely praised for its unique 1970s "TV Dial" aesthetic, thin profile, and comfortable wearability, with owners appreciating its well-finished rectangular case featuring alternating polishing and brushing, and its sunburst dials with contrasting matte subdials. Reviewers and owners consistently highlight the Seiko VK64 meca-quartz movement for its solid performance, instantaneous chronograph reset with good tactile feel, and quartz accuracy, all at an affordable price point. Some owners note the lack of a running second hand and that the date change is not instant, while one owner found the strap needed improvement. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Brew Retrograph highly for its distinctive design and excellent value, particularly praising its comfortable wearability and the satisfying meca-quartz chronograph function.

Yema Superman Steel CMM.10

Owners widely praise the Yema Superman Steel CMM.10 for its refined casework, including polished lug bevels and an elegant crown guard, and its comfortable 39mm x 10.5mm dimensions. The glossy black lacquer dial and bezel insert are noted for adding depth, and the in-house CMM.10 movement is reported to be accurate, with one owner observing a loss of only 2 seconds over 2 days. The scales bracelet is described as gorgeous and nearly invisible on the wrist, though some find its polished center links too flashy. One reviewer flagged the signature bezel lock mechanism as flimsy and inconvenient. The CMM.10 automatic movement offers a 70-hour power reserve and is regulated to within +5/-3 seconds per day. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Yema Superman Steel CMM.10 highly for its refined finishing and comfortable wearability at its price point.

From video reviewers

The Yema Steel features an in-house movement with a micro-rotor, one of the most beautiful at this price point. The watch's clasp feels a bit thin, which is a notable drawback. Reviewers disagree on the movement's power reserve, with one reviewer noting a 42-hour reserve and the other not mentioning power reserve at all.
