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 RECORD

Owners and reviewers widely praise the Longines RECORD for its COSC-certified L888.4 movement, often noting its excellent accuracy, with one owner reporting figures between 0 and +2 seconds per day and another experiencing -5 seconds per day in its worst position. The watch is frequently highlighted for its comfortable, thin case, described as elegant and well-balanced, with specific mentions of the clean dial design, applied numerals, and sharp blue hands. Some owners find the Roman numeral font exceptional and the watch a great value for its price. However, several sources point out a lack of micro-adjustment on the bracelet and no lume, with 30m water resistance also noted as minimal. One reviewer found the 40mm size with a 13.8mm thickness cumbersome and its legibility terrible due to the handset and dial printing, while another owner felt the watch wore larger than expected.
