What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Vario Empire Tachymètre Chronograph

The Vario Empire Tachymètre Chronograph is praised for its elegant, art deco-inspired multi-layered dial and comfortable leather strap. Owners note its 38mm diameter, 46mm lug-to-lug, and 11.5mm thickness, along with a sapphire crystal and 5 ATM water resistance. Criticisms include the use of different fonts for sub-dial and perimeter markers, and the absence of a traditional running second hand. Overall, owners appreciate the Vario Empire Tachymètre Chronograph for its distinctive dial design and comfortable wearability.

Wolbrook Skindiver WT Chrono-Mecaquartz

Owners widely praise the Wolbrook Skindiver WT for its handsome vintage aesthetic, authentic retro vibe, and value for money, often highlighting its legible dial, sapphire crystal, and drilled lugs. The worldtimer bezel and comfortable Beads of Rice bracelet also receive positive mentions. However, some owners report issues with hand color matching, lume quality, bezel wobble, and a high-sitting strap. One owner found the 40mm size wore larger than expected, while another was put off by the push-pull crown. The Miyota 8315 movement is considered less desirable than the 9 series by one owner, and the brand's warranty is not honored if the watch is sold or gifted. Overall, owners rate the Wolbrook Skindiver WT highly for its vintage personality and value, despite some noted build quality concerns.
