Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.
Owners widely praise the Lilienthal Berlin Lilienthal 1 for its minimalist, art deco-inspired design, clean dials, and satisfyingly finished hands, with some noting its scratch-resistant case and glass. The mesh bracelet is also frequently highlighted as a positive feature. However, there are significant concerns regarding quality control and customer service, with multiple owners reporting functional issues such as timekeeping failures, a difficult or crooked crown, and strap failures. Some owners also find the 42.5mm case size to be large and consider the watch to be a fashion timepiece with better value available elsewhere, particularly at full price. Overall, owners are divided on the Lilienthal Berlin Lilienthal 1, with praise for its design and build quality at discounted prices tempered by recurring issues with functionality and customer service.
Owners widely praise the Redwood Watches Pilot A-13 for its tight, back-play-free bezel action and clean design. The 42mm case is noted as suitable for smaller wrists, and the watch is considered impressive value at $179, featuring a sapphire crystal and screw-down crown with 100m water resistance. Some owners are adjusting to the quartz movement, and one notes the lume mellows over time. Overall, owners rate the Redwood Watches Pilot A-13 highly for its robust build and excellent value proposition.
