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.

Vario 1945 A-11S Solar Quartz

Owners widely praise the Vario 1945 A-11S Solar Quartz for its superb case finishing, legibility, and premium look, with its 40mm size proving comfortable for many wrists. Reviewers highlight its incredible value at $198, featuring a Miyota solar quartz movement and polished chamfers adding unexpected style. Some owners note the lume is poor and the 50-meter water resistance is limited, while others desire a big date complication not supported by the solar movement. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Vario 1945 A-11S Solar Quartz highly for its excellent finishing and value proposition.
