What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Lorier Zephyr

Owners widely praise the Lorier Zephyr for its stunning guilloche-style dial, refined and perfectly sized unique case shape, and comfortable wearability. The Miyota 9 series movement is noted by owners as being a little noisy, with a rotor whirring audible on quick hand movements. On balance, owners rate the Lorier Zephyr highly for its distinctive dial and case design at the price.

From video reviewers

The watch's vintage aesthetic and value for money are praised. The bracelet's refinement and perceived rattle are noted as a drawback.

Makydo 38

Owners widely praise the Makydo 38 for its excellent finishing and comfortable wearability as a daily watch. The mosaic dial and leather watch roll are noted as distinctive inclusions. However, some question its value proposition at the stated price point, and one owner reported a negative customer service experience; opinion on the asymmetrical case shape is split, with some finding it interesting and classy while others are less convinced. Overall, owners rate the Makydo 38 highly for its finishing quality and practical daily-wear comfort, though pricing remains a point of contention in the community.
