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.

KUOE ROYAL SMITH 90-006

Owners widely praise the KUOE ROYAL SMITH 90-006 for its visual appeal and sapphire crystal with AR coating. The watch functions correctly and keeps time at approximately +5 seconds per day on the wrist, powered by a Miyota 9039 movement. On balance, owners value the watch's aesthetics and specifications, though some question its overall value proposition.

From video reviewers

The watch's unique blend of modern and retro elements is a notable strength, with a textured ivory waffle dial and Breguet numerals giving it the look of a vintage watch from the 1950s and 1960s. A potential drawback is the ~$770 USD price point, which is significant for a microbrand. Reviewers disagree on the movement's accuracy, with one reviewer noting it is noisy and another describing it as a "Japanese-manufactured high beat premium automatic movement".
