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.

Maen Manhattan 40

Owners appreciate the Maen Manhattan 40's thin case and unique dial, with some finding its proportions too large for smaller wrists. One owner noted a snagging crown and difficult winding action. Accuracy figures vary, with one owner reporting +18s/d to +24s/d on the 37mm version, while another owner of the 40mm model did not specify accuracy. On balance, owners and reviewers find the Maen Manhattan 40 to be a good value, with its thinness and dial finishing being key strengths.
