What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Lorier Hyperion SII Skyward

Owners widely praise the Lorier Hyperion SII Skyward for its comfortable, thin, and light wearability, with one owner noting a perfect case width and another highlighting its 10.7mm thickness. The bi-directional GMT bezel is described as decent for its price, and the movement is considered fine and accurate, making it a low-key travel watch. The bracelet is also noted as well-made and finished for the price. On balance, owners rate the Lorier Hyperion SII Skyward highly for its comfortable wearability and value as a mechanical GMT.

Nodus Obscura II

The Nodus Obscura II is widely praised for its novel "Exposure Gauge Complication" bezel, designed for film photographers using the Sunny 16 rule, and its iridescent dial that resembles mother of pearl. Owners also highlight the top-notch bracelet with micro-adjustment and the accessible $650 price point. Some find the bezel concept a bit gimmicky. The watch features a 38mm steel case, a TMI NH38 movement, 100m water resistance, and a box sapphire crystal. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Nodus Obscura II highly for its creative complication and iridescent dial at an accessible price.
