Lorier AstravsTissot PRX Gold

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.

The Tissot PRX Gold is widely praised as exquisite and beautiful, with owners appreciating its statement-piece quality and the subtle flash of gold. The brushed case finish on some models is noted as preventing excessive gaudiness, making it "just the right amount of gold" for some, though others find it "a bit flashy." Some owners question the retail value, suggesting the premium is for the gold bezel, and note that it can be found at significantly lower prices from grey market or pre-owned sources. Overall, owners rate the Tissot PRX Gold highly for its beautiful aesthetic and refined gold presence at a more accessible price point when sourced strategically.
