What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Farer THREE HAND SERIES III

Owners widely praise the Farer THREE HAND SERIES III for its attractive dial colors, particularly the salmon and red variants, and its well-proportioned 36mm case. The watch features a textured dial, screw-down crown, and 100m water resistance, powered by a La Joux-Perret G101 movement offering a 68-hour power reserve. Some owners find the designs generic compared to previous releases. Reviewers note the minute hashes can be difficult to read in certain lights, and the included strap is considered too thick and stiff. Overall, owners rate the Farer THREE HAND SERIES III highly for its vibrant dials and well-proportioned case.

Vario 1918 Trench Brass

Owners widely praise the Vario 1918 Trench Brass for its attractive, precisely made dial and case, with the evolving brass patina noted as a positive feature. The bund strap is considered comfortable and well-fitting by some, though others find it stiff and short for larger wrists. The lume is considered poor. The Miyota 82s5 movement is described as adequate, with accuracy ranging from about -10 seconds per day to simply running slow. On balance, owners rate the Vario 1918 Trench Brass highly for its fantastic looks and the unique character of its brass case.
