What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Farer 35MM CUSHION CASE

Owners widely praise the Farer 35MM CUSHION CASE for its compact wearability, with a 10mm thickness and 38mm lug-to-lug measurement, and its attractive, art deco-inspired dials featuring vibrant color gradients. Reviewers highlight the reinterpreted case angles, steeper bezel slope, and the visually appealing hand-wound Sellita SW210-1 movement with custom finishing. Some owners find the 35mm size wears smaller than expected, while others note cushion cases can wear larger than their stated diameter, and there is a split opinion on whether the 35mm size is ideal for all wrists. The watch is powered by a Sellita SW210-1 movement with a 45-hour power reserve and is water resistant to 50 meters, priced around $1165/€1,195/£1,045. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Farer 35MM CUSHION CASE highly for its distinctive design and perceived value.

Phoibos Wave Master GMT

The Phoibos Wave Master GMT is widely praised for its attractive design, comfortable 20mm tapering bracelet, and wearability on a 7" wrist, with owners finding it a strong value proposition at $220. Some minor finishing flaws, such as slightly crooked markers and off-center dial numbers, are noted by one owner, while accuracy averages around 5-10 seconds over two weeks. Overall, owners rate the Phoibos Wave Master GMT highly for its distinctive design and comfortable wearability at its price point.

From video reviewers

The Wave Master GMT's notable feature is its 200M water resistance. A drawback is the rattle of the bracelet. Reviewers disagree on the watch's value, with one reviewer noting its significant weight for a 39.5mm case diameter, but the other reviewer doesn't mention any specific weaknesses or trade-offs.
