Okay, so I’ve been eyeing this Brew Metric Retro Dial watch for a while now. I finally pulled the trigger and got my hands on one. They were restocking them, so I jumped at the chance, and man, I’m glad I did. Let me tell you about it.
First off, this thing is a looker. It’s got this retro vibe that’s just cool, you know? The dial is pretty unique. It’s a square case, which I’m really digging. It’s not too big either, 36mm wide, which is perfect for my wrist. But because of that square shape, it wears a little bigger, like 40mm, because of the corners. It’s a neat trick.
Now, I’m not a watch expert or anything, but I did a little digging and found out it’s got this “meca-quartz” movement. Sounds fancy, right? Turns out it’s a mix of quartz and mechanical. So the timekeeping part is quartz, but the stopwatch stuff is mechanical. Pretty interesting combo, and they both run on the same battery. Efficient, I guess.
I started wearing this Brew watch around, and I gotta say, it’s been getting some attention. I’ve had a few people ask me about it, where I got it, all that. Makes you feel good, you know? Makes me think I made a good choice grabbing it.
The build quality seems pretty solid. It feels good on the wrist, not too heavy, not too light. Just right. The strap is decent, nothing to write home about, but it does the job. I heard someone online say that the bracelet could be better, maybe I’ll look into upgrading that later. Also, I saw that a mechanical movement could be a nice addition. I might consider that if I ever want to really make this thing special.
Here are the things I noticed:
- Size: 36mm wide, 41.5mm lug-to-lug, 10.75mm thick.
- Movement: Meca-quartz, a hybrid of quartz and mechanical.
- Look: Retro style, square case, unique dial.
- Feel: Solid build quality, comfortable on the wrist.
I’ve only had it for a little while, but so far, so good. I’m really enjoying this Brew Metric Retro Dial. It’s a cool, unique watch that’s well-made and gets compliments. What more could you ask for? If you’re thinking about getting one, I’d say go for it. You won’t regret it.
