Lorier AstravsWolbrook Skindiver WT Chrono-Mecaquartz

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 Wolbrook Skindiver WT for its handsome vintage aesthetic, authentic retro vibe, and value for money, often highlighting its legible dial, sapphire crystal, and drilled lugs. The worldtimer bezel and comfortable Beads of Rice bracelet also receive positive mentions. However, some owners report issues with hand color matching, lume quality, bezel wobble, and a high-sitting strap. One owner found the 40mm size wore larger than expected, while another was put off by the push-pull crown. The Miyota 8315 movement is considered less desirable than the 9 series by one owner, and the brand's warranty is not honored if the watch is sold or gifted. Overall, owners rate the Wolbrook Skindiver WT highly for its vintage personality and value, despite some noted build quality concerns.
