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.

Grand Seiko SBGZ011

Grand Seiko SBGZ011 owners widely praise its in-person beauty and the finest Zaratsu polishing, noting that photos do not capture its artistry. Some owners find the framed logo and lettering detract from the dial's balance, and a few describe the watch as too flashy or "bling" for their taste, with one owner feeling its design deviates from Grand Seiko's ethos. The strap is also widely disliked. Overall, owners rate the Grand Seiko SBGZ011 highly for its stunning Zaratsu polishing and unique, beautiful in-person presence, despite some finding it overly flashy.
