Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.
Owners praise the Filippo Loreti Venice Moonphase Black Gold Mesh for its aesthetic appeal and true moonphase complication, with one owner noting the engravings are appealing. The watch is considered stylish in pictures and has an unbelievable price for a moonphase complication under $200. One owner reports the moonphase complication stopped working correctly after a year and a half, and the Miyota 6P00 movement is considered replaceable rather than repairable. Overall, owners rate the Filippo Loreti Venice Moonphase Black Gold Mesh highly for its aesthetic appeal and value at the price point.
Owners report the Swatch Sexy Thing can feel heavy and is prone to scratching, with one owner noting significant scratching within a month of minimal use that created shadows on the dial. The watch is described by some as a tacky, "corky experiment" from the 80s. On balance, owners rate the Swatch Sexy Thing poorly due to its tendency to scratch and its perceived tackiness.
