Orient Symphony IIIvsTedoro Harmony 36mm Stainless Steel Seiko NH35A

Owners widely praise the Orient Symphony III for its exceptional value, noting its sub-$150 price tag belies a polished case and classic design with modern overtones that make it appear more expensive. The dial is described as simple, elegant, and effective, and the time-setting action is smooth. However, the included bracelet is flagged as flimsy and squeaky, prompting recommendations for aftermarket straps. Accuracy is a point of concern for some, with one owner reporting sporadic timekeeping ranging from +10 seconds per day to as much as 83 seconds over 48 hours. Overall, owners rate the Orient Symphony III highly for its impressive value and elegant design, despite the noted bracelet and accuracy issues.

The Tedoro Harmony 36mm Stainless Steel Seiko NH35A is built around the reliable Seiko NH35A automatic movement, with owners reporting accuracy around +/- 5 seconds per day. The 36mm case size is noted as being a custom build, incorporating parts from AliExpress and an Invicta Pro Diver, with specific mention of gold hour and minute hands. On balance, owners find the Tedoro Harmony 36mm Stainless Steel Seiko NH35A to be a satisfactory custom build, appreciating the reliability of the NH35A movement and the familiar styling.
