Owners + reviewers, side by side
Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.
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 Zelos Swordfish Field 38 for its comfortable dimensions, noting they are acceptable both on paper and in practice. The Seiko NH35 movement is highlighted for its exceptionally smooth winding feel. On balance, owners rate the Zelos Swordfish Field 38 highly for its value and comfortable wearability.
