Lorier AstravsMr Jones Watches Daydreamer

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.

Owners widely praise the Mr Jones Watches Daydreamer for its super colorful, whimsical, and fun design, with one owner finding it a lighthearted and retro addition to their collection. However, multiple owners have noted that the central seconds indicator sometimes stops ticking, with one owner confirming this as a defect and expressing hope for warranty service. On balance, owners appreciate the unique aesthetic of the Mr Jones Watches Daydreamer, despite some concerns regarding the reliability of its central seconds indicator.
