Lilienthal Berlin Chronograph SolarvsRoue CHR

Owners widely report significant quality control and customer service issues with the Lilienthal Berlin Chronograph Solar, with some experiencing movement failure, strap defects, and poor communication. Some owners consider the watches to be fashion-oriented and overpriced, suggesting better value from established brands, while a few find them decent with attractive designs and good build quality, especially when purchased at a discount. One owner noted their Lilienthal Berlin Chronograph Solar has a Seiko (Epson) movement and has had no problems. Overall, owners rate the Lilienthal Berlin Chronograph Solar poorly due to recurring functional and service issues, despite some appreciating its design.

The Roue CHR is praised for its high-quality sand-blasted black-PVD case and sapphire crystal, considered superior for its price point. Its 41.5mm cushion case is noted as surprisingly light and comfortable, though it wears slightly larger. The unconventional dial layout with yellow hashes effectively evokes a vintage racecar dashboard, and the dial itself offers impressive depth with yellow accents that elevate its look. A drawback is the lack of lume on the main hands. The Roue CHR uses a Japanese Miyota 6S10 quartz movement and is water-resistant to 100m. On balance, reviewers find the Roue CHR offers impressive design and finishing for its price, with the dial's vintage aesthetic being a key highlight.
