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.

anOrdain Model 2

Owners and reviewers widely praise the anOrdain Model 2 for its exceptional, handmade Grand Feu enamel dial, often described as stunning and liquid-like, with a custom typeface and syringe hands. The simple, rugged 36mm steel case is noted for its organic lines and comfortable wearability, and the hand-winding Sellita SW-210 movement offers a smooth winding action. The watch is considered to offer impressive value for its dial work. Some reviewers note the lack of a running seconds hand, a minute track on certain versions, and limited lume on the hands. Water resistance is rated at 5atm, and one reviewer found the AR coating prone to glare. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the anOrdain Model 2 highly for its exquisite enamel dial and strong value proposition.

From video reviewers

The hand-enameled dial is a significant strength. The watch's inclusion in the MoMA Store is also noted.
