Lilienthal Berlin Lilienthal 1 – Gold Blue

Owners widely report that Lilienthal Berlin Lilienthal 1 – Gold Blue offers a minimalist, lower-profile design with a comfortable mesh bracelet, though some find it appears large. The quartz movement is considered decent for the price, and some owners praise the build quality and materials. However, multiple owners criticize the $400 price point as high for a coated case and quartz movement, with some noting machine-stamped dial and hands with unfinished edges. Customer service and order fulfillment are frequently flagged as problematic, with some experiencing significant delays or unresponsiveness. Overall, owners have mixed feelings, with some appreciating the design and perceived quality at the price while others express disappointment and regret, citing issues with finishing and customer support.

Swatch 30 and Ticking

Owners widely report the Swatch 30 and Ticking has a loud ticking sound, a characteristic attributed to its mass-produced quartz movement and bioceramic case construction, though opinions are split between finding it annoying and part of the charm. Some owners note the crystal scratches easily, leading to it being considered a toy watch by some, while others defend its build quality and accessibility for its price. One owner reports their Swatch has lasted 25 years with heavy use. Overall, owners are divided on the Swatch 30 and Ticking, with the loud ticking being the most prominent and polarizing feature.
