What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Lorier Astra

The Lorier Astra is praised for its outstanding details and design language, hitting a "dressy sports watch" vibe with a beautiful sector dial and lume. Owners note its versatile, do-it-all design with classic proportions and refined details like beveled markers, making it suitable for both formal and casual wear. The watch wears slightly larger than its 36mm case suggests, closer to 38mm, with lugs that taper and curve downward to fit well on smaller wrists. However, the bracelet feels a bit light, some screws are difficult to remove, and the Miyota movement can gain around 8 seconds in 12 hours with potentially offset date numerals. On balance, owners rate the Lorier Astra highly for its dressy sports watch aesthetic and refined details at its price point.

From video reviewers

The watch's versatile dial and comfortable 36mm sizing are consistently praised. Lume brightness is noted as a potential weakness. Reviewers did not explicitly disagree on any points.

Mark Time Watches M 6

The Mark Time Watches M 6 features a 39mm case with a deep black dial that gives the hands a floating appearance, and the second hand extends to the edge of the dial. Owners appreciate the absence of a ghost date position, a minimalist logo, and actual bezel screws. However, some find telling time to the nearest minute or two is challenging. Overall, owners value the M 6 for its thoughtful design elements like the full-length second hand and functional bezel screws.
