03The community take

Owners talk.

“

Owners widely praise the Filippo Loreti RETRO CHRONO for its beautiful watch face and unique, cool aesthetic, with some appreciating the craftsmanship and finding it a quality timepiece. However, a significant portion of owners and community members express strong reservations, citing concerns about the brand's business model, perceived overpricing for quartz models, deceptive marketing, and sourcing from platforms like AliExpress. Some users reported issues such as significant shipping delays, peeling leather straps, and a general sentiment that the watch is overpriced for its components. The Filippo Loreti RETRO CHRONO is a visually appealing timepiece, but potential buyers should be aware of the community's significant concerns regarding its value proposition and brand practices.
