Fears Redcliff (Edwin Edition)vsLorier Astra

The Fears Redcliff (Edwin Edition) is praised for its slim, sporty, and versatile design, featuring a well-finished 39.5mm case with a 9.95mm thickness and 150m water resistance. It is powered by a La Joux-Perret G100 automatic movement offering a 68-hour power reserve, tested to -/+7 seconds per day. The dial features contemporary baton markers and Super-LumiNova filled hands and markers. Overall, reviewers highlight the watch's refined build and sporty reimagining of the brand's debut model.

The Lorier Astra is praised for its outstanding details and design language, hitting a "dressy sports watch" vibe with a beautiful sector dial and lume. Owners note its versatile, do-it-all design with classic proportions and refined details like beveled markers, making it suitable for both formal and casual wear. The watch wears slightly larger than its 36mm case suggests, closer to 38mm, with lugs that taper and curve downward to fit well on smaller wrists. However, the bracelet feels a bit light, some screws are difficult to remove, and the Miyota movement can gain around 8 seconds in 12 hours with potentially offset date numerals. On balance, owners rate the Lorier Astra highly for its dressy sports watch aesthetic and refined details at its price point.
