What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Serica Ref. 6190 Field Chronometer

Owners widely praise the Serica Ref. 6190 Field Chronometer for its refined dials and slimmer case, with one owner calling the black dial the "blackest of blacks" and another finding it not top-heavy. The COSC-certified automatic movement is noted, and the Bonklip bracelet is described by one owner as the most comfortable they have ever experienced. However, one owner found the 9 o'clock crown undesirable and noted a ding on the bezel, while another owner found the Bonklip bracelet too small for their wrist. The €990 price is a significant increase from its predecessor, and some may miss the charm of a manual-winding caliber. On balance, owners and reviewers appreciate the Serica Ref. 6190 Field Chronometer for its updated design and comfortable bracelet, despite some concerns about the crown placement and price.

Lorier Hydra SIII

Owners and reviewers praise the Lorier Hydra SIII for its value, GMT functionality via the Miyota 9075 movement, and classic travel-diver aesthetics. Some reviewers note the finishing is simple or a tad rough around the edges, while others find it good for the price. Accuracy figures range from +7 to +8.5 seconds per day. The domed Hesalite crystal may exhibit distortion. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Lorier Hydra SIII highly for its feature set and value proposition in a travel-diver format.
