Vario 1918 Medic BrassvsWilliam Wood Fire Exit Watch

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.

The William Wood Fire Exit Watch is praised for its fun, conversation-starting design and attractive colors, featuring a gunmetal gray 41mm steel case and comfortable straps made from decommissioned fire hose. Reviewers note its Sellita SW220 automatic movement offers a 41-hour power reserve. One reviewer found the small dial indicators difficult to read. Overall, owners and reviewers appreciate the William Wood Fire Exit Watch for its unique design and comfortable wearability.
