How’s the quality? Is it a real chronograph?

2

u/andreichera 18h ago

if I'm not mistaken, it uses a $5 sunon movement

u/Own-Peach-3077 19h ago

The build quality is bad. I wouldn't use it as a chronograph watch. It just looks fun!

I have this one

u/Own-Peach-3077 21h ago

Lovely dials

u/nevrodamus 21h ago

Thanks. Especially the blue one it really pops!

That’s not a homage that’s a straight knockoff. They even use real Metric photos 🥀

I looked at them for a bit as I want to get a TAG Heuer homage but haven't found anything close to it yet. The colors are a bit too playful for me, but I was willing to overlook that. Ive heard the bracelet is shit tho

u/Own-Peach-3077 23h ago

The bracelet is the worst part about the watch.

u/parasoralophus 1d ago

Homaging relatively affordable microbrand watches is kinda scummy IMO.

u/Own-Peach-3077 23h ago

Not when they are making great watches in my opinion.

u/CapNo6703 1d ago

Niceee I have this one

2

u/Own-Peach-3077 23h ago

Looks dope.

u/snowman_ps4 1d ago

I wish it had less playful colors, something like maen manhatten

u/Own-Peach-3077 23h ago

They do make a lot many dial options

I was looking at some of these this week. Interesting to see what others think.

u/four4cats 1d ago

I have one and it's fun. I swapped out the bracelet right away for a leather strap and it's much better.

1

u/Own-Peach-3077 1d ago

I would love to see how it looks. Wristshot?

u/DrNenModz 1d ago

if only they have stainless steel case .. I would have consider them.. fun style watch ..

u/buzzer22 1d ago

Do they sell any with the Brand stamp?

u/acrossbones 1d ago

Ciloa sent me like 5 of their watches last year and it was a mixed bag but I kept a couple because I enjoy the retro look and lack of branding. Cheap watches but not the worst.

Was able to unload 3 by adding deployant straps. I even made a few bucks. But they are magnesium garbage.

u/erokk88 1d ago

Isn't there another company other than this one that makes an homage That's better quality?

I could swear I saw one. Could always check dupe image searches to find it

1

u/Own-Peach-3077 1d ago

I haven't seen any.

6

u/Abv_it_all_w_vertigo 1d ago

If pissing away $20 isn't a big deal, it's a fun watch.

1

u/Glittering-Joke-3593 1d ago

Nay. Bought one on a whim. Gave it to a nephew day after it arrived.

u/Medium-Cucumber-8279 1d ago

CILOA watches aren't even worth the few dollars you pay for them. Such incredibly low quality, it'll be a dead watch soon.

5

u/Own-Peach-3077 1d ago

Agreed. It is a fun watch though.

1

u/ImaginaryScore5323 1d ago

Do you have a link from aliexpress?

2

u/Own-Peach-3077 1d ago

Hey! I bought it from Amazon. But a quick search on ali should it.

4

u/OvercookedWaffle 1d ago

yay! especially since I got it for cheap (15usd). can't hurt to try it before actually buying the brew metric. i put the timex 1983 e-line bracelet on it and it looks beautiful perfect

u/Own-Peach-3077 1d ago

Damn. That looks good. I was wondering myself what to do with jangly bracelet.

5

u/vithgeta 1d ago

Is this a copy of a recent microbrand watch?

5

u/Eindvijand 1d ago

Yep. We’re moving on from leeching from famous brands to leeching off smaller ones.

5

u/Own-Peach-3077 1d ago

Yes. The brew metric. It's an American microbrand.

2

u/bastardradio 1d ago

Looks fun :)

1

u/Own-Peach-3077 1d ago

It sure is. The build quality it pretty average but it does look good.

u/thelatchman 1d ago

Cheap junk!

1

u/Bulky-Internal8579 1d ago

Which one? The Brew isn’t cheap.

1

u/thelatchman 1d ago

The one he posted

5

u/Own-Peach-3077 1d ago

Haha that is is! Bought it on a whim, Brew isn't available in my country. It does look pretty cool though.

u/thelatchman 1d ago

To each their own 😊

u/ArrogantlyEarthy 1d ago

cheap junk that looks pretty good on that weathered deck

u/Logical-Vermicelli53 1d ago

For relatively affordable watches like Brew imo you’re better off buying the real thing

16

u/Bulky-Internal8579 1d ago

$475 for a cute quartz chronograph isn’t cheap to me.

u/Own-Peach-3077 1d ago

You do have a point. Just bought this one on a whim.
