What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Farer GMT BEZEL

Owners widely praise the Farer GMT BEZEL for its enthusiastic color combinations, wearable dimensions, and impressive fit and finish for the price. Reviewers highlight its great utility with 200m water resistance, a vintage-charm bubble crystal, and comfortable wearability due to its 12.5mm thickness and short lug-to-lug. Some owners find the white dial's legibility lacking due to polished hands, and one noted the bezel does not glow, though the blue dial version features a lumed bezel. The GMT movement is described as a caller-style by one reviewer, and opinions on its overall value place it from luxury-rivaling to mid-tier. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Farer GMT BEZEL highly for its unique design and excellent value 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".
