What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Astor + Banks AB Clásico

The Astor + Banks Silver is praised for its nice finishing on the case and dial, with a nice texture on the dial. The watch's lug-to-lug fit is relatively slim, making it comfortable to wear. A weakness of the watch is its lume, which could be a bit brighter.

Farer CUSHION CASE

The Farer CUSHION CASE is widely praised for its reinterpreted case with dramatic angles and steeper bezel slope, vibrant gradient dials crafted with a unique spinning and layering process, and the visual refinement of the Elaboré-grade Sellita SW210-1 movement with custom engraving. Owners appreciate the case's "bat-ear" lugs, sloping bezel, polished finish, and scalloping between the lugs for strap integration, with specific colorways like pistachio and tea green dials being favorites. Some commenters note the grey numeral track on the salmon dial or eastern Arabic markings on the green dial as detractors, and one user questions the choice of a manual-wind movement over an automatic. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Farer CUSHION CASE highly for its distinctive case design and vibrant, textured dials.
