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

Owners widely praise the Lorier Hyperion SII for its vintage aesthetic, glossy black dial, and tasteful text. One owner notes the Miyota 9075 movement and calls it the best GMT under $800. Criticisms include a small GMT hand that is difficult to spot, and one user found the winding action not smooth with significant crown resistance. Overall, owners rate the Lorier Hyperion SII highly for its vintage aesthetic and value.

Formex Stratos UTC

Owners and reviewers widely praise the Formex Stratos UTC for its user-friendly flyer GMT complication, which utilizes pushers for time-zone adjustments, and its slim 11.8mm case. The watch is noted for its intricate, hand-finished case with a multi-layer construction and excellent finishing, along with a unique two-level case design. The Dubois-Depraz module on an ETA 2892 movement is a highlight, with accuracy figures ranging from +/- 5 to +/- 7 seconds per day. However, some find the dial busy with multiple typefaces and the overall design too complex or "plug ugly," with the price near €4000 considered high by some for a newer brand. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Formex Stratos UTC highly for its innovative GMT functionality and excellent case finishing at its price point.
