What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Farer LISSOM

Farer Lissom owners and reviewers widely praise its slim 7.95mm case and elegant 38mm dimensions, noting its well-balanced proportions and comfortable wearability. The vibrant and colorful dial designs, intricate details like grained textures and sunken sub-dials, and lume-filled dauphine hands are frequently highlighted as strengths. The manual-wind La Joux-Perret D100 movement is mentioned, with a claimed accuracy of +/- 15 seconds and a 50-hour power reserve, though one owner reported a movement failure after overwinding, which was resolved with excellent customer service. Some owners find the blue numerals and hands appear nearly black unless catching the light, and opinions are split on the 38mm size, with some finding it ideal and others a bit small for their wrist. The 42.8mm lug-to-lug measurement is noted as potentially appearing odd on larger wrists. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Farer Lissom highly for its striking design and slim, wearable case at its price point.

Fortis Novonaut N-42

Owners widely praise the Fortis B-42 Official Cosmonauts for its stunning fit and finish, excellent legibility, and a precise, grippy bezel, with one owner calling its bracelet the nicest they've ever owned. The Fortis Novonaut N-42 is described as a flawless beast with a WERK 17 column-wheel chronograph movement, featuring enhanced shock resistance and COSC adjustment, and is noted as a handsome tool watch with a beautiful dial and nice pusher action. However, the 42mm case of the B-42 wears larger than expected, and the Novonaut's 44mm case and chunky bracelet make it too large and heavy for many. The Fortis Titanium Legacy is a modern pilot's watch with a titanium case and bracelet, featuring a Kenissi WERK 13 movement with a 70-hour power reserve and three time zones. Overall, owners and reviewers highly regard the Fortis Titanium Legacy for its robust tool watch design and advanced movement technology, despite some concerns about case size and bracelet adjustability.
