What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Dryden Chrono Diver Gen 2

Owners widely praise the Dryden Chrono Diver Gen 2 for its exceptional value and comfortable wearability, with particular appreciation for its refined PVD finish. The watch features a Seiko VK63 Meca-Quartz movement, improved lume, and solid bezel action, all housed in a 42mm case with recessed pushers and 100m water resistance. Some owners note the 49mm lug-to-lug may be large for smaller wrists. On balance, owners rate the Dryden Chrono Diver Gen 2 highly for its amazing value and comfortable wearability.

Farer GMT

The Farer GMT Automatic is praised for its vibrant, legible sunburst dial and well-proportioned 39.5mm x 10mm case. Reviewers note the ETA 2893-2 movement as a good choice with hacking seconds and a 42-hour power reserve. The bronze crown, intended to develop a patina, is flagged as a potentially unpopular design element that some feel looks unfinished or out of place. Prices range from $1,425 to $2,150 AUD. Overall, reviewers find the Farer GMT Automatic offers good value for a GMT watch in its price segment, with the dial and case proportions being key strengths.
