Hanhart Lion Mk II, 39 mmvsNivada Grenchen F77 SST MK2

Owners widely praise the Hanhart Lion Mk II, 39 mm for its superb finishing, with beautiful brushing on the case sides and a highly polished bottom edge, and its utilitarian design. The 39mm case size is considered perfect, and the manual wind chronograph functionality is appreciated, with the GMT bezel functioning well and feeling quality with good resistance. One owner notes the chronograph minute hand does not always hit the markers precisely when running, and another finds the watch surprisingly heavy despite its solid, robust feel. Overall, owners rate the Hanhart Lion Mk II, 39 mm highly for its excellent finishing and functional design at the price.

The Nivada Grenchen F77 SST MK2 is lauded by reviewers for its comfortable 38mm case with downturned lugs and a slimmer profile, enhancing wearability and making it a strong integrated bracelet option at its price point. Owners appreciate its suitability for swimming due to a screw-down crown and find it wears comfortably, with some preferring it over other integrated bracelet watches. However, one owner reported poor quality including a clunky rotor, misaligned lume, and a crooked logo, while another found the brand logo unappealing. The gold-plated version was considered loud by one reviewer, and lume is absent on some variants. Prices range from €1,665 for the steel version to €1,865 for the gold-plated version. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Nivada Grenchen F77 SST MK2 highly for its wearability and design at its price point, despite isolated quality concerns and aesthetic critiques.
