What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Lorier Olympia SII

Owners widely praise the Lorier Olympia SII for its excellent value and vintage aesthetic, highlighting the robust Seiko NE88 movement and crisp chronograph pushers. The 39mm case is noted for wearing well, with its layered design effectively managing the 13.8mm thickness. Some owners prefer the hesalite crystal for its aesthetic, while others would like a sapphire option. The bracelet is described as functional but can be a hair nipper. Overall, owners rate the Lorier Olympia SII highly for its execution of a vintage chronograph at an accessible price point.

Nodus Obscura II

The Nodus Obscura II is widely praised for its novel "Exposure Gauge Complication" bezel, designed for film photographers using the Sunny 16 rule, and its iridescent dial that resembles mother of pearl. Owners also highlight the top-notch bracelet with micro-adjustment and the accessible $650 price point. Some find the bezel concept a bit gimmicky. The watch features a 38mm steel case, a TMI NH38 movement, 100m water resistance, and a box sapphire crystal. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Nodus Obscura II highly for its creative complication and iridescent dial at an accessible price.
