What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Horage Lensman 2

The Horage Lensman 2 is recognized for its innovative photographic exposure calculator bezel and legible dial, making it a functional tool for outdoor photography. Reviewers highlight its well-executed 39mm hybrid titanium and aluminum case, COSC-certified K2 GMT movement, and overall good sizing. The watch is priced at CHF 5,450. On balance, reviewers rate the Horage Lensman 2 highly for its unique functionality as a camera tool combined with its luxury micro-rotor GMT features.

From video reviewers

The K2 Micro-Rotor Calibre is a key innovation in the watch. The watch's prominent lug-to-lug fit may be noticeable compared to other watches. Reviewers disagree on the importance of the sliding exposure scale on the bi-directional bezel, with some considering it a unique feature for photographers and others not explicitly mentioning it as a notable aspect.

Wolbrook Skindiver WT Automatic

Owners widely praise the Wolbrook Skindiver WT Automatic for its attractive retro aesthetic, comfortable wearability, and good value, with many highlighting its striking green dial, box sapphire crystal, and well-executed Beads of Rice bracelet. Some reviewers note the Miyota 8315 movement is adjusted to ±15 seconds per day, and one owner found the steel bracelet's finishing did not match the watch as well as the rubber straps. A minority of owners express disappointment with the lume, bezel wobble, and a perceived lack of finishing refinement, with one reviewer ultimately not recommending the watch. Overall, owners rate the Wolbrook Skindiver WT Automatic highly for its vintage charm and comfortable bracelet at the price point.
