Lilienthal Berlin Lilienthal 1vsLum-Tec Eclipse

Owners widely praise the Lilienthal Berlin L1 for its clean Bauhaus-inspired design, good value especially when on sale, and quality feel, with some noting its scratch-resistant case and crystal. The Sellita SW200 movement and sapphire crystals are also highlighted. However, a significant number of owners report abysmal customer service, long shipping delays, and questionable quality control, including issues with alignment, accuracy, and detached crowns. Some find the recessed crown difficult to use for hand-winding, and one owner noted lume was only on the hands. Overall, owners rate the Lilienthal Berlin L1 highly for its aesthetics and value, tempered by consistent complaints about customer service and reliability.

Owners widely praise the Lum-Tec Eclipse for its comfortable, slim profile and thin wearability, with specific commendations for its beautiful dial, good readability, and bracelet design. The knurling on the crown is also noted as a positive feature. Some owners express concern over the 42mm case size and find the dial's font and indices unappealing, though others appreciate the deep-dish slant. One owner notes a slight gap where the lugs meet the bracelet. The Lum-Tec Eclipse e3 variant features a Miyota 9039 movement, a solid bracelet, a sunburst dial, and exceptionally bright lume. Overall, owners rate the Lum-Tec Eclipse highly for its slim design and attractive dial at its price point.
