What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Massena LAB Dato-Racer

Owners widely praise the Massena LAB Dato-Racer as an excellent everyday watch, appreciating its blend of 1970s-inspired aesthetics with modern dimensions. This model is a limited edition of 99 pieces. On balance, owners rate the Massena LAB Dato-Racer highly for its successful fusion of vintage design and contemporary wearability.

Lorier Astra

The Lorier Astra is praised for its outstanding details and design language, hitting a "dressy sports watch" vibe with a beautiful sector dial and lume. Owners note its versatile, do-it-all design with classic proportions and refined details like beveled markers, making it suitable for both formal and casual wear. The watch wears slightly larger than its 36mm case suggests, closer to 38mm, with lugs that taper and curve downward to fit well on smaller wrists. However, the bracelet feels a bit light, some screws are difficult to remove, and the Miyota movement can gain around 8 seconds in 12 hours with potentially offset date numerals. On balance, owners rate the Lorier Astra highly for its dressy sports watch aesthetic and refined details at its price point.
