What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Lorier Olympia SII

Owners widely praise the Lorier Olympia SII for its excellent value and vintage aesthetic, highlighting the robust Seiko NE88 movement and crisp chronograph pushers. The 39mm case is noted for wearing well, with its layered design effectively managing the 13.8mm thickness. Some owners prefer the hesalite crystal for its aesthetic, while others would like a sapphire option. The bracelet is described as functional but can be a hair nipper. Overall, owners rate the Lorier Olympia SII highly for its execution of a vintage chronograph at an accessible price point.

Seiko Essentials Chronograph

Owners find the Seiko Essentials Chronograph beautiful for its price, particularly on the grey market, praising its lightweight wearability for active use and college budgets. One owner notes the orange stripe on the stopwatch button can expand and fall off in heat. The watch is 41mm and was purchased for $160. On balance, owners rate the Seiko Essentials Chronograph highly for its aesthetic appeal and value, especially for active wear on a budget.
