What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Longines PrimaLuna Moonphase

The Longines PrimaLuna Moonphase features a fluid case design and a 72-hour power reserve from its automatic movement. Owners note its accuracy averages 1.3 seconds lost per day across six positions, and 3 to 4 seconds on the wrist, performing within COSC standards. Previously, moon phase models utilized quartz movements, a detail that may not appeal to mechanical watch enthusiasts. Overall, owners rate the Longines PrimaLuna Moonphase highly for its updated automatic movement and reliable timekeeping.

Vaer DS2 Meridian Quartz

The Vaer DS2 Meridian Quartz is lauded for its wearability, with reviewers and owners consistently praising its 39mm case size as a perfect fit, noting its thinness at 10.4mm. The watch features a satisfying 120-click coin-edge bezel with minimal back play and comes with two straps for $239, powered by a Miyota GM12 quartz movement offering a three-year battery life. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Vaer DS2 Meridian Quartz highly for its comfortable wearability and accessible price point.
