Lilienthal Berlin Chronograph LP – Blue SilvervsSternglas Tachymeter 2.0

Owners widely report a striking Bauhaus-inspired design and appealing aesthetics for the Lilienthal Berlin Chronograph LP – Blue Silver, with some comparing its build quality and design favorably to watches costing significantly more, and one owner notes it loses only about 4 minutes per year. However, a significant number of owners express concerns about the watch being overpriced at nearly $400, citing a coated case and a Ronda quartz movement, with criticisms also directed at customer service experiences, shipping delays, and potential quality control issues such as misaligned elements or sharp edges. Some owners also question the value proposition, considering it a fashion item with machine-stamped dials and hands that may lack finishing at this price point, while others praise its German-made quality and design.

The Sternglas Tachymeter 2.0 is widely praised for its upscale feel and value, featuring a Seiko TMI VK63 meca-quartz movement and a refined case with polished and matte surfaces. Reviewers note improvements over the predecessor, including better lume and the addition of Arabic numerals, while the dial offers more color and distinct sub-dials. One owner points out that the "orange" accent is actually yellow and suggests the tachymeter scale could be more functional. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Sternglas Tachymeter 2.0 highly for its balanced design and strong value proposition as a quartz chronograph.
