Lilienthal Berlin Octachrono – Blue OrangevsTissot Supersport Chrono

Lilienthal Berlin is praised for its award-winning minimalist and Bauhaus design, with owners appreciating its clean aesthetic and interesting colorways, such as the blue and orange sunburst dial. Some find the build quality comparable to more expensive watches, and one owner reports losing only about 4 minutes per year. However, owners are split on value, with some suggesting alternatives from brands like Seiko or Citizen, and others finding it a good buy, especially with discounts. Multiple owners report significant shipping delays and unresponsive customer support, with some deeming the brand's sales tactics and product quality suspect. The crystal is described as "sapphire hardened mineral crystal" or "sapphire-hardened mineral glass" rather than true sapphire. Overall, owners rate Lilienthal Berlin highly for its striking design and good finishing, though concerns about customer service and shipping times persist.

Owners widely praise the Tissot Supersport Chrono for its visually appealing dial, handset, and case shape, with many finding it a great value for its price and noting excellent lume. Some owners report subdial hand misalignment, which Tissot considers within tolerance for certain units, and one owner sold theirs due to chronograph second hand movement when stationary. The watch's 44-45.5mm size is a point of contention, with some finding it too large for smaller wrists, while others report it fits well even on smaller wrists. On balance, owners rate the Tissot Supersport Chrono highly for its aesthetic appeal and value, despite some concerns regarding its size and chronograph function.
