Lorier Falcon SIIIvsDOXA SUB 200 II

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.

The DOXA SUB 200 II is praised for its comfortable wearability, with its 44mm case and shorter lug-to-lug making it wear smaller than its dimensions suggest, and its new fumé dials are a notable aesthetic feature. Reviewers and owners note the inclusion of a Sellita SW200-1 movement with a 38-hour power reserve, an area where some alternatives offer longer durations. The watch's Milanese bracelet is also highlighted as a potentially divisive feature, and the lack of on-the-fly clasp adjustment is a point of criticism. The DOXA SUB 200 II is priced at $1,690 on rubber. On balance, owners and reviewers acknowledge the DOXA SUB 200 II's comfortable wearability and attractive fumé dials, though some criticize its increased size and power reserve compared to alternatives.
