Vario Futurist

The Vario Futurist is widely praised for its fun, retro-futuristic design and unique faceted sapphire crystal, offering significant visual intrigue at an affordable price. Owners note its ability to catch the light beautifully. One reviewer flags that the recessed crown can be difficult to operate, and the 39mm case offers more wrist presence than expected.

From video reviewers

The faceted sapphire crystal and distinctive case finishing are praised. The crown placement and sharp case edges are noted as drawbacks. Reviewers disagreed on the watch's overall value proposition.

Wolbrook Skindiver Automatic

Owners widely praise the Wolbrook Skindiver Automatic 38mm for its vintage-inspired design, compact 38mm size, and tool-like aesthetic, offering good value for its price. The watch features ridiculously bright and long-lasting lume, a clean dial, and a Miyota 9039 no-date movement. Some owners find the push-pull crown a drawback, while others note the clasp and some bracelet links can feel sharp. Opinions are split on the bracelet design, with some finding it confusing and others praising its articulation and micro-adjustments. One owner found the 40mm case felt larger than expected. Overall, owners rate the Wolbrook Skindiver Automatic 38mm highly for its vintage aesthetic and tool-watch appeal at a reasonable price.
