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 The Classic – Gold Green

Owners widely report a minimalist aesthetic and decent build quality for the price, with some finding the watches appealing. However, a significant portion of owners flag poor customer service, long shipping delays, and potentially misleading product descriptions. Overall, owners rate Lilienthal Berlin The Classic – Gold Green as decent for its minimalist aesthetic, though customer service experiences are a notable concern.

KUOE OLD SMITH 90-001

KUOE OLD SMITH is widely praised for its vintage aesthetic and comfortable 35mm wearability, with owners noting its attractive bronze case and dial contrast. Reviewers and owners alike highlight its excellent accuracy. However, the case finishing is considered average for the price, and the lume fades quickly. Some find the small date window difficult to read, and the Seiko NH38 movement is described as noisy. The 18mm lug width and PVD-coated strap hardware are also noted as drawbacks. Overall, owners and reviewers find the KUOE OLD SMITH to be a compelling vintage field watch offering good value, particularly for its aesthetic appeal and accuracy.
