What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Dan Henry 1962

Owners widely praise the Dan Henry 1962 for its legibility and attractive panda dial, noting its value under $300. However, some find its quartz chronograph functionality limited. One owner reports strap fitting difficulties due to tight tolerances and poor lume that fades quickly, with glowing sub-dial hands hindering legibility. Another owner describes black hands on black sub-dials as an issue for visibility. On balance, owners rate the Dan Henry 1962 highly for its attractive panda dial and value, despite some concerns about its quartz chronograph functionality and legibility.

Lilienthal Berlin Chronograph Solar – Edition II

Owners widely report significant issues with customer service, citing long shipping times, poor communication, and difficulty resolving defects. Some owners describe the build quality as reasonable with interesting design details and a striking appearance, comparing it favorably to more expensive watches. Others, however, flag sharp edges, uncomfortable strap screws, potential QC issues like alignment and dust under the glass, and movement failures within a few years. One owner noted their watch held up well over a year in a demanding environment, recommending it as worth the price. Overall, owners are split on the Lilienthal Berlin Chronograph Solar – Edition II, with praise for its design and perceived value tempered by widespread concerns about quality control and customer service.
