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 Neolux – Gray Mint

Owners widely praise Lilienthal Berlin for its award-winning minimalist design and value, particularly when purchased at a discount, with one owner noting the Meteorite IV model looks as good as a much more expensive watch. Some owners appreciate the blue and orange sunburst dial and good finishing, while others find the dial and hands machine-stamped without polished edges and the leather quality basic. Owners report sharp case edges causing skin irritation and difficult-to-remove strap pins, with one finding it unwearable due to discomfort, though another enjoyed the clean design and good lume. The brand's minimalist aesthetic is praised, but some models lack lume, and some owners have experienced significant shipping delays and unresponsive customer support, with some describing the company as potentially fraudulent. Overall, owners rate Lilienthal Berlin highly for its Bauhaus-inspired design and perceived value, though concerns about quality and customer service are noted.

Spinnaker Fleuss 40 Automatic

Owners find the Spinnaker Fleuss 40 Automatic a good size for smaller wrists, though one owner notes the lume is too diffuse for easy nighttime reading. The pilot-style crown is an unusual feature for a dive watch. Overall, owners value the Spinnaker Fleuss 40 Automatic for its wearability on smaller wrists.

From video reviewers

The coral red dial is a unique aesthetic. The watch is a strong contender for best-in-class under $300.
