What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Astor + Banks AB Clásico

The Astor + Banks Silver is praised for its nice finishing on the case and dial, with a nice texture on the dial. The watch's lug-to-lug fit is relatively slim, making it comfortable to wear. A weakness of the watch is its lume, which could be a bit brighter.

Lorier Hydra SIII

Owners and reviewers praise the Lorier Hydra SIII for its value, GMT functionality via the Miyota 9075 movement, and classic travel-diver aesthetics. Some reviewers note the finishing is simple or a tad rough around the edges, while others find it good for the price. Accuracy figures range from +7 to +8.5 seconds per day. The domed Hesalite crystal may exhibit distortion. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Lorier Hydra SIII highly for its feature set and value proposition in a travel-diver format.
