Casio Vintage ABL-100WEvsLilienthal Berlin Huxley

The Casio Vintage ABL-100WE is lauded for its sharp retro aesthetic, featuring a shiny silver resin case with colorful dial accents and a comfortable, adjustable multi-row metal bracelet that hugs the wrist well, making it particularly wearable on smaller wrists. Owners appreciate its classic 1980s-style design, readable display with good backlight, and feature set including Bluetooth connectivity and a step counter. However, one owner notes the coating is terrible after a year of use, and another expresses concern over the ion-plated chrome over resin case being a letdown compared to stainless steel. The accompanying app's intrusive location tracking is also a significant concern for some. The positive LCD can have poor viewing angles, and one owner regretted purchasing a variant due to its inability to export steps.

Owners widely praise the blue and orange sunburst dial and appreciate the finishing and blue leather strap as good value, particularly when purchased on sale. Some owners consider the Lilienthal Berlin Huxley their favorite watch, citing its simplistic yet fantastic look and character. One owner reports the lume does not function as expected and the quartz movement loses about an hour every couple of days after six months of ownership. The Lilienthal Berlin Huxley is also described as a fashion watch, with a recommendation to buy if the design is appealing and the price is reasonable. Overall, owners rate the Lilienthal Berlin Huxley highly for its appealing design and good value at sale prices, despite some concerns regarding lume and timekeeping accuracy.
