What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Vario 1918 Medic Brass

Owners widely praise the Vario 1918 Medic Brass for its crisp enamel dial, easy-to-read numerals, and cathedral hands, noting the brass case develops an attractive patina over time. However, the soft brass scratches easily, and one owner found the lume to be poor. Accuracy varies, with one example running slow by about 10 seconds per day and another owner deeming the Miyota 82s5 movement just okay. On balance, owners rate the Vario 1918 Medic Brass highly for its unique dial and the evolving character of its brass case.

Vario NAVI Single Hand Compass

Owners praise the Vario NAVI Single Hand Compass for its unique single-hand design and understated nautical theme, finding it reflects their personal style. The watch is a 38mm vintage-inspired timepiece with 100m water resistance. A reviewer notes the Miyota 8s25 automatic movement has a 40-hour power reserve and its unidirectional winding rotor may wobble. Overall, owners appreciate the Vario NAVI Single Hand Compass for its refreshingly different take and casual time-telling dial.
