What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Sternglas Merion

The value proposition of the Sternglas Merion is consistently praised by reviewers. Reviewers disagree on whether the Sternglas Merion is the best dive watch under €500.

anOrdain Model 2 Porcelain

Owners widely praise the anOrdain Model 2 Porcelain for its artistic haute horological experience, sublime design, and exceptional craftsmanship, highlighting the hand-finished, carved, and curved lugs. Reviewers note the deep, glossy black porcelain dial with pad-printed gold numerals and hand-painted lume, though dimples from the traditional production process are visible in certain lighting. The watch features a 39.5mm brushed steel case, a sapphire caseback revealing the La Joux-Perret G101 movement with a 68-hour power reserve, and 50-meter water resistance. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the anOrdain Model 2 Porcelain highly for its unique dial material and detailed case finishing at its price point.

From video reviewers

The anOrdain Model 2 Porcelain's handmade enamel dial is a notable strength, praised by multiple reviewers for its unique, subtle color shift. A potential drawback is the relatively modest water resistance of 50 meters, which may be a trade-off for the watch's focus on aesthetics. Reviewers disagree on the lug-to-lug fit, with some finding it comfortable and others noting it's somewhat large.
