What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Lorier Falcon SIII

Owners and reviewers widely praise the Lorier Falcon SIII for its impressive finishing at its price point, a svelte 36mm case that evokes vintage aesthetics and fits well on smaller wrists, and a clear, domed hesalite crystal. The legible BGW9 lume and high-quality tapering bracelet are also frequently highlighted. Some owners note that the dial's diamond pattern can make minute markers difficult to read in certain light, and one owner found the lume intensity could be more consistent. The Falcon SIII utilizes the Miyota 90S5 caliber and offers 100m water resistance. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Lorier Falcon SIII highly for its vintage-inspired design and excellent finishing for the price.

From video reviewers

The watch's bronze case finish is a notable strength, with reviewers highlighting its unique patina and subtle aging effect.

Reviewers agree on the watch's movement accuracy, citing the reliable and accurate Seiko NH38 caliber.
