What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Farer Discovery II

The Farer Discovery II is widely praised for its comfortable 39.5mm wearability, suiting all wrist sizes and occasions, and its bold plum sunburst dial, which exhibits varied color interpretations. Owners also highlight the excellent case and bracelet design, with one noting it is a "dream to wear." The La Joux Perret G101 automatic movement provides a 68-hour power reserve. On balance, owners rate the Farer Discovery II highly for its comfortable wearability and attractive dial at the price.

Glycine Airman Vintage The Chief GMT

Owners widely appreciate the Glycine Airman Vintage The Chief GMT for its historical significance and homage to the 1953 original. However, one owner notes criticism regarding the main hour hand being a 12-hour hand on a 24-hour dial, which hinders its intended use and compromises the bezel's functionality, leading to a return. On balance, owners value the Glycine Airman Vintage The Chief GMT for its historical connection, though a functional critique exists regarding its hour hand implementation.
