What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Straton Curve Chrono MKII

The watch offers a retro motorsport aesthetic with a quality finish and well-chosen movements at an affordable price. Reviewers did not agree on any specific weaknesses.

Vaer G5 Meridian GMT

The Vaer G5 Meridian GMT is a compelling and affordable true GMT watch, featuring the Miyota 9075 movement. Reviewers note its 39mm stainless steel case, which is described as chunky but visually minimized by twisted lugs, and a highly domed sapphire crystal that contributes to reflections. The glossy ceramic bezel also adds to its shiny appearance. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Vaer G5 Meridian GMT highly for its true GMT functionality and value.
