Exactly!! Way to go Brew. That’s all I hope for brands and watches when I’m searching, Enough with the copying luxury brands and calling it homage to be nice.
Solid deal for $400 totally unique to brew. Worth the price alone. Colors and subdial placement are unique and fun. Would love to see more chrono variations from brew on the future. Also love when teddy reviews micro brands because he talks brand, founder, and watch.
@@mxderry They had the green ones in stock in Jan.. I missed out by like 2 minutes.. Ordered the retro, which is coming in May, like others have stated. Sign up for their emails. That's how I knew and was able to get one. That being said.. It may be too small for my 7.25" wrist. I thought about that while purchasing (probably why i missed out on the green face) and then FOMO (fear of missing out) kicked in, lol. Wonder if Teddy would take it in trade for a Laco Augsburg if it is indeed too small for me.
Teddy, I do like looking at Micro Brands or less known watches. I think every collector prefers Automatics. But, over the years, I have come to enjoy Quartz (mostly Eco-Drive or Solar). My favorite diver is an Eco-Drive and 11 years old. My “weekend beater”. Lately, Micro’s have been finding their way onto my sons, wife’s, and even my wrist. This “Brew” watch is creative and well designed (from and Engineers perspective). I like it. I vote thumbs up on more videos like this…Thanks.
I’ve been wearing a radio-sync Eco-Drive for nearly ten years. No battery changes and the time is within a second of the time on my phone. This Brew watch is attractive and a decent piece of design, but…
I loved my Eco-Drive too, until it stopped working and I found out fixing it is going to cost nearly three times what the watch is worth, and may not even be possible (or practical). I got my money's worth out of it, but still disappointing.
I ordered one of these after watching your previous video in which you compared a few micro brands so really nice to see a follow up looking into this one in more detail. Please keep the micro brand content, some really interesting watches being discovered 👍
Thanks for doing some micros! And meca-quartz. A HUGE population of the watch community find it difficult to break over the $500 - $600 mark. So we run out of quality full autos and mechanicals. Love to see a review done on HEMEL some day!
I just acquired the silver dial and absolutely love it. The case size, heavily tapered bracelet and clasp make for an uber-comfortable wearing experience. I love the design and really enjoy the quirkiness of it. I have watches that many times more expensive that I don't enjoy as much as this. Perfect enthusiast piece.
The cool thing about Brew is that they take inspiration from vintage watches that didn’t become too popularised. Like this is definitely inspired by the Omega Jedi 176.005 - super cool
While I'm not likely to order this particular model, Brew is on my radar. Personally, I think mixing in this type of content is a great thing for the channel. It exposes people to more of what these small businesses are doing out there.
Proud owner of the Metric - Green Dial variant and it fills that Milgauss void in my life with a reminder of the Tiffany/OP-Colour craze, it's my for fun watch for Fridays and I absolutely love coffee so it was a no-brainer for me. And fun trivia, there's only 200 of that reference/model in the world, so that feels good. If you watch Jonathan, you know the passion, respect & commitment to excellent design; so have to support that.
Thanks for turning me on to Brew watches! I first started checking them out after your episode where you and Mr wonderful were talking about them. I immediately went on their website and bought the only one I could find, which is the 8-bit. I'd be interested to hear what you think about the 8-bit. It's definitely a strange design and will be hugely polarizing, but it's just so well executed like all of their stuff, and also I guess because it's limited to 500 pieces produced, it just seems like a great buy for 400 bucks. Anyway really loving your channel and I appreciate the fact that you deliver so much great content for those of us who are looking on the lower end of watch prices but are still excited about collectible pieces.
I love the idea of Brew watches, and love their fun designs. There is definitely a lot of value there too. I'm only unsure of how they will fit. I'm likely going to the Windup Watch Fair in Chicago this summer, and I'm sure they will be there. I look forward to being able to get some on the wrist. The only tough part about Brew is they are getting so popular that their inventory sells out quickly once available.
I have this very model he reviewed. Still sealed in the box it shipped in. I never opened it and I'm looking to sell it if you're interested. I can send you pictures and contact information, just let me know. I'm also active on Teddy's Facebook page "in-house movement" posting info on it later today.
Hi, Sean! Looking forward to seeing you at the Wind^Up Fair in Chicago. I'll be happy to show you the watch in person and catch up then. Be well! -Jonathan Ferrer
Although not "my cup of tea", I find it strangely attractive. It is one of those time pieces that you can't stop looking at. I wouldn't call it beautiful. Rather extremely intriguing. Honestly, I can imagine myself wearing it. Once again, great video!
To all y'all saying that Teddy is getting kickbacks or has some agenda at play you need to go watch his video where he visits the MVMT office and tells the CEO to his face that his watches are bad quality and are basically a scam. I was kind of neutral on Teddy before but after seeing that video he went to next level boss mode for me. Keep doing what you're doing Teddy!
Teddy, I am already having a hard time getting this watch on release--you just made it a lot harder releasing this great video, now probably everyone wants it :P.
I was finally able to order this watch. I already own a well rounded collection, even have a nice luxury watch, but this is such a cool dial and case for any price, let alone under $500. Had to pick it up!
Finally got this one after quite a wait until I managed to order one within the very short window they are online for purchase. Absolutely in love with it as I think they got so much right while being very original. The quality is quite amazing. My only niggle seems to be the same of the one featured in this video - the seconds hand is misaligned and misses all the markers, a bit disappointing when you consider the rest of the excellent QC. Hope I’ll be able to live with it as the seconds dial is very small and my eyesight is not as good anymore.
I was able to get in on last month's order event and grabbed the black dial version. Now I can't wait until May for it to be shipped! And Teddy - I owe it all to you from a mention in another video a few months ago, and then again with Kevin recently. I love the idea of spreading the new about micro brands, and doing the leg work that some of us can't find online...especially how you speak on quality, etc. Thanks!
In your Micro Brand video you included an image of this watch, but never mentioned it. I had to do a screen grab, and then google search on the image, only to be disappointed that the watch is sold out. The design grabbed my attention, because it was so unique in my opinion. Like you, I appreciate that the brand is trying to do something different with their design approach. I would love to see you do more videos on these micro brands, particularly those that are not rehashing what has been done, but are looking forward to what is possible. Thanks for all of your great content.
Thanks teddy! First saw this watch on your channel! I Stalked this watch for about 3 months before I could get one. Wish I could’ve bought it directly from you! Appreciate the videos!
Just got my 8 bit brew watch and I love it. Love the retro arcade style and looking forward to getting one of Brews other offerings once they are back in stock 👍
I first saw this watch when you reviewed it with Mr. Wonderful and I am going to go to their website and place an order for one of their watches as they’re cool and unique for that price point. Thanks Teddy
For those that love the watch, but need more water resistance, you can definitely mod this movement with fluorinert fc-40. Meca quartz will suffer a battery and slight accuracy penalty when oil filled, but it will still work well enough to dive safely.
Bought the black metric at beginning of January, looking forward to getting it in May. Funky watch, joins my Seiko Alpinist Ginza to start building a collection.
Hello @Ciaran, thank you very much for ordering the Metric. I sincerely appreciate it and will keep you updated along the way. Glad to be in good company with your Seiko Alpinist Ginza.
Great video Teddy, as always! I discovered Brew watches thanks to one of your earlier videos. The reason why I think people love this dial is because it has elements of the 80s while it still presents a very unique, creative and fun design with an overarching theme: coffee! I subsrcribed to Brew's newsletter to get notified when the watch becomes available but it must have sold out in a matter of hours as I checked availability the same day and it was gone. Will have to be faster in the next round as demand will just grow higher!
Good content Teddy thanks. Yes, we are interested. I am a huge MecaQuartz fan. I vastly prefer quartz to mechanical movements for their accuracy, low maintenance, low initial cost and grab and go quality. I like this watch. I own a Dan Henry Evil Panda with three dial derivative of this movement and its a keeper. This is a compelling watch for sure and thanks for your presentation..
Thanks for the review of this microbrand and the mecha-quartz movement. I won a mecha-quartz movement in a drawing under the name tag of Breed. While did not appreciate it at first, I have come enjoy it for what it is. The general public only see the external and the curiosity of a chronograph anyway.
I looked at their lines recently and they have some really cool designs. My daughter is a barista and I plan on getting her the model teddy showed. She saw it and fell in love with it.
I have this very model he reviewed. Still sealed in the box it shipped in. I never opened it and I'm looking to sell it if you're interested.

Love the smaller more budget micro brands so vids like these are great on knowing ones that are quality. Been waiting to get a brew soon with the restock of the Retrograph coming.
I ONLY saw this watch brand BREW last week.I must say I really like how most of the Watch⌚companies from all over the 🌎 are taking inspiration from the 70's & most companies who are doing so are noticing an increase in sales & yes especially when it doesn't cross $500.👏
I have a Retrograph with a BOR bracelet. I can attest that this brand cares about quality in their products. My retrograph is in my weekly watch rotation.
@@TeddyBaldassarre Hello Teddy. I posted a comment earlier and it seems someone is using your image and stating that I'm a "winner" of a previous giveaway and to call a certain whatsapp number. It seems this person has replied to a few people with your image and claiming to be giving away a prize. Anyway, big fan of your channel.
Great video and review, but I wish there was a shot of you starting, stopping, and resetting the chronograph function. Curious to see how fast the hands work, etc.
I’ve fallen in love with the watch brand Yema but really like this Brew. Very unique but not to crazy looking. Also love my coffee ☕️. I think I might just get one.
Delivered today a Brew Retromatic green…amazing. Love the detail and finishing. If the Metro is too hipster for you, check out this one, actually more true to retro and simply elegant.
Although the case is too small for me the design is competent and attractive. I like that the sweep seconds is smooth and not dead beat. I is good that a date is included.
Although not a fan of quartz I'm very impressed with the design language and originality of this piece. Also the links and references to coffee! This designer is obviously passionate. The layout and the use of colour is exquisite and extremely well thought out. Would actually be tempted if the case size was bigger and it had better lume.
I think it's a really cute watch. If they were chronos to measure telephone calls or parking time, why not coffee. A miss just a little splash of branding in the face. The use of Seiko mecha, the attention to detail, the retro but original design and the level of quality reminds me of Straton.
Teddy, et al, I love the dial so much- the colors and design, but I’d like to see it in a beefier/larger case as is my preference. I am also not a fan of the bracelet. Anyone know of affordable watches with an even remotely similar look, but with the type of case I describe? Teddy, please continue with microbrands!
Great review Teddy! I ordered mine back in January and can’t wait to wear this incredible time piece! As far as the battery life, will any watch repair shop have the available battery for the seiko vk68(just curious)? Thanks again for this great review!
It’s beautiful and I’d definitely wear it. If it was easier to get I’d definitely go for it. That said, 400 bucks is at a very limit of what I’d spend for a quartz watch ..
As a small company I get not wanting to overreach and produce too much product. One bad launch and you’re in trouble as you have capital tied up in product that is hard to sell. That said, I think the brand in the last 12 months has had demand that has doubled so I think it’s time for Brew to take bigger swings and try to keep stock flowing more consistently. It has been cool to watch this brand grow the last 5 years.
I love the look and design of this watch. I'm generally not a fan of Chronographs because the dials and face are too busy. I like an easy-to-read dial. But this one has a cleaner look and I would consider buying it. However, the 36mm case size is a little too small for my taste, so I think that would deter me from buying it. I generally stick to 40 to 42 mm case sizes.
Managed to get one on the recent pre-order but also noticed the blue dial retromatic with the Swiss movement was in stock so ordered it. Wow it's amazing so can't wait for the metric to arrive. Would love to hear your view on the retromatic Teddy.
I have the black dial, as reviewed. It’s nice. But one warning - in everyday use, it is hard to tell the time! I find the hands often ‘disappear’ in the fairly busy dial. I like the watch. It’s interesting and fun, but not the best for doing the actual job it is meant for.
My brother is opening a coffee shop and this was the perfect gift for his grand opening, Thanks Teddy!!
That’s beautiful man wish yall luck on the business 👍
Brew is one of the only microbrands that isn't copying anybody. They're almost entirely their own thing
Thank you very much for the kind words, Mitchell! Truly appreciate it.
Exactly!! Way to go Brew. That’s all I hope for brands and watches when I’m searching, Enough with the copying luxury brands and calling it homage to be nice.
There are others, but Brew is definitely one of them
Viewed from the top, the case of my BREW 8bit retrograph reminds me a lot of the chunky quartz Omega de ville of 76.
@@brewwatchco need a 40-41mm size for us big arm chads!
Solid deal for $400 totally unique to brew. Worth the price alone. Colors and subdial placement are unique and fun. Would love to see more chrono variations from brew on the future. Also love when teddy reviews micro brands because he talks brand, founder, and watch.
I ordered and received the green dial version of this style. It is a fun futuristic looking watch. George Jetson would be proud to wear it. Me too.
Every time I go to the Brew site all watches are sold out. How long was your wait?

Sold out. I knew I should have looked it up sooner.

I bought this in January, and it’s coming in May. It's a long wait for this watch, But this is worth it for $400
Hey jokesta didn't know you were a watch enthusiast
I'm in the same boat.. Missed out on the green face by like 2 minutes :( .. Had to 'settle' for the retro. Definitely worth the wait for $395.

I was just looking at that watch last weekend. Great timing for the video.
9:53 This is spot on. I love to see a brand take risk and form a personality. But I enjoy novelty more than most so my taste might be skewed.
This is really interesting to look at, I first saw it on your last vid with Kevin.

The layout and the use of colour is exquisite and extremely well thought out. Would actually be tempted if the case size was bigger and it had better lume.
This is a neat piece and design language. Quite unique. I can think of people I know right now that would be a good fit for this one.
Absolutely love Brew’s aesthetic and quirkiness. The Copper Mastergraph is a thing of beauty as well.
The most unique looking watches on the market, love it!
I think it's a really cute watch. If they were chronos to measure telephone calls or parking time, why not coffee. A miss just a little splash of branding in the face. The use of Seiko mecha, the attention to detail, the retro but original design and the level of quality reminds me of Straton.
Teddy, et al, I love the dial so much- the colors and design, but I’d like to see it in a beefier/larger case as is my preference. I am also not a fan of the bracelet. Anyone know of affordable watches with an even remotely similar look, but with the type of case I describe?
Teddy, please continue with microbrands!
Great review Teddy! I ordered mine back in January and can’t wait to wear this incredible time piece! As far as the battery life, will any watch repair shop have the available battery for the seiko vk68(just curious)? Thanks again for this great review!
looks good - its saved into my bookmarks for when I can justify a treat !! - UK
Cool watch - Excellent review.
Love the video and focus on microbrands! Please do more
It’s beautiful and I’d definitely wear it. If it was easier to get I’d definitely go for it. That said, 400 bucks is at a very limit of what I’d spend for a quartz watch ..
I agree with Kevin O'Leary and you on this, wonderful design will be buying a brew
Excellent review, Teddy. I couldn’t agree more.
I love the Retromatic but this is interesting.
Classic Brew! None available in the market in my place...
As a small company I get not wanting to overreach and produce too much product. One bad launch and you’re in trouble as you have capital tied up in product that is hard to sell. That said, I think the brand in the last 12 months has had demand that has doubled so I think it’s time for Brew to take bigger swings and try to keep stock flowing more consistently. It has been cool to watch this brand grow the last 5 years.
There’s something so appealing and interesting about this watch.
I love the look and design of this watch. I'm generally not a fan of Chronographs because the dials and face are too busy. I like an easy-to-read dial. But this one has a cleaner look and I would consider buying it. However, the 36mm case size is a little too small for my taste, so I think that would deter me from buying it. I generally stick to 40 to 42 mm case sizes.
Love it, I have bought this in January as well. Can't wait to get it in May. :-)
Thank you very much, Claudio! Looking forward to preparing yours then.
So for me being in Europe i still have to pay additional taxed making the total go slightly above 500.
Still a good buy? What do you guys think?
Two years after this vid. I ordered today the watch is now 455USD. Safe to say it's appreciating well
Color combinations are really Captivating 👌
Managed to get one on the recent pre-order but also noticed the blue dial retromatic with the Swiss movement was in stock so ordered it. Wow it's amazing so can't wait for the metric to arrive. Would love to hear your view on the retromatic Teddy.
It is an Idris Elba watch
The preordering was insane the white and green face sold out in like 20 minutes
I have the black dial, as reviewed. It’s nice. But one warning - in everyday use, it is hard to tell the time! I find the hands often ‘disappear’ in the fairly busy dial. I like the watch. It’s interesting and fun, but not the best for doing the actual job it is meant for.
Thanks for covering this very cool brand
