What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Audaz ADZ-3040

Owners widely praise the Audaz Seafarer's versatile design, fitting for both diving and formal wear, and note its NH35 automatic movement and 200m water resistance. One owner highlights the Sea Ranger's amazing lume with a gorgeous phosphorus blue color. However, some owners criticize the Audaz Sand Color Dial as a blatant copy of iconic watches, deeming the "affordable luxury" claim disingenuous, while others express skepticism about the water resistance and call it a Rolex clone. The 42mm case is noted as being a little big on smaller wrists. Overall, owners are split on the Audaz, with praise for its lume and versatility tempered by significant criticism regarding its design originality and perceived value.

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 vintage-inspired dial with applied indices is a shared strength. The bracelet received mixed feedback, with some noting end-link gaps and others praising its taper and solid end links. Reviewers disagreed on the lume quality, with one finding it inconsistent and another not mentioning it.
