Lilienthal Berlin Chronograph Solar – Edition II

Owners widely praise the Lilienthal Berlin Chronograph Solar – Edition II for its striking meteorite dial and clean, Bauhaus design, with one owner stating it holds up well and is comparable to a $1,500 watch, losing only about four minutes per year.

One owner finds the chronograph minutes difficult to read for practical use. On balance, owners rate the Lilienthal Berlin Chronograph Solar – Edition II highly for its Bauhaus design and meteorite dial, despite some concerns about sharp edges and legibility.

Zelos Swordfish 3

Owners widely praise the Zelos Swordfish 3 for its strong value, with reviewers highlighting the textured sandwich dial, Seiko NH35 movement, 200m water resistance, and surprisingly good bracelet. The titanium construction is noted for making the watch compact and comfortable, weighing 117g. Some owners find the dimensions fine on paper and based on experience with other models. One reviewer flagged that legibility can suffer in bright light and bracelet edges are sharp. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Zelos Swordfish 3 highly for its incredible value and fun design, particularly with unique dial options.
