What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Lilienthal Berlin Chronograph – Circuit

Owners widely praise Lilienthal Berlin for its award-winning minimalist design and value, particularly when purchased at a discount, with one owner noting the Meteorite IV model looks as good as a much more expensive watch. Some owners appreciate the blue and orange sunburst dial and good finishing, while others find the dial and hands machine-stamped without polished edges and the leather quality basic. Owners report sharp case edges causing skin irritation and difficult-to-remove strap pins, with one finding it unwearable due to discomfort, though another enjoyed the clean design and good lume. The brand's minimalist aesthetic is praised, but some models lack lume, and some owners have experienced significant shipping delays and unresponsive customer support, with some describing the company as potentially fraudulent. Overall, owners rate Lilienthal Berlin highly for its Bauhaus-inspired design and perceived value, though concerns about quality and customer service are noted.

Cincinnati Watch Company Union Terminal Mechanical

Owners praise the Cincinnati Watch Company Union Terminal Mechanical for its striking design and historical significance, particularly for Cincinnati natives. One owner highlights its suitability as a dress watch, finding it wears well on a leather strap. The watch is noted for its colors and design inspired by the Union Terminal clock, with a portion of sales supporting the landmark. At just over $350, it is considered a good value despite not featuring a high-end movement, strap, or crystal. Overall, owners rate the Cincinnati Watch Company Union Terminal Mechanical highly for its unique design and local historical connection at an accessible price point.
