What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

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.

Longines SPIRIT

Owners and reviewers widely praise the Longines Spirit for its exceptional finishing, refined vintage-inspired design, and strong value proposition, with many finding the 37mm and 40mm variants to be a "sweet-spot" size for wearability. The champagne dial with applied indices on the 37mm model is noted for its depth and legibility, while the L688.4 movement in the Chronograph is appreciated for its COSC certification and silicon balance spring. Some owners report accuracy within COSC specifications, and the 72-hour power reserve is a frequently cited positive. However, some community members find the bracelet finishing and end links less refined than competitors, and one owner noted the presence of three different fonts on the dial numbers of the 37mm. The 37mm model's non-screw-down crown despite 100m water resistance and the lume strength are also flagged as potential drawbacks by some.

From video reviewers

The Longines Spirit's reliable COSC-certified movement, Caliber L888.4, with a 72-hour power reserve and a silicone balance spring, is a notable strength. A potential weakness is the watch's relatively high price point compared to its competitors, making it a drawback for some. Reviewers disagree on whether the dial colour shift is a notable feature, with some appreciating it and others not mentioning it as a point of contention.
