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.

Hamilton Khaki Aviation Air Race Auto

Owners widely praise the Hamilton Khaki Aviation Air Race Auto for its legibility and practicality, with some appreciating its countdown bezel and GMT pointer. However, opinions on its design are split, with some calling it a "Frankenstein" and disliking the skeleton hands, while others find the hands suitable for a pilot watch. One owner notes the lume is underwhelming and the 44mm size may be too large for some wrists. The original strap is also described as uncomfortable and prone to water stains. On balance, owners value the Hamilton Khaki Aviation Air Race Auto for its legibility and practical features, despite a polarizing design and some comfort concerns.
