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.

Vario Empire Tachymètre Chronograph

The Vario Empire Tachymètre Chronograph is praised for its elegant, art deco-inspired multi-layered dial and comfortable leather strap. Owners note its 38mm diameter, 46mm lug-to-lug, and 11.5mm thickness, along with a sapphire crystal and 5 ATM water resistance. Criticisms include the use of different fonts for sub-dial and perimeter markers, and the absence of a traditional running second hand. Overall, owners appreciate the Vario Empire Tachymètre Chronograph for its distinctive dial design and comfortable wearability.
