What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Glycine Airman No. 1 GMT

Owners widely praise the Glycine Airman No. 1 GMT for its historical significance and attractive dial. However, some find the 36mm case size to be a bit small, and the GMT hand can be difficult to distinguish from the minute hand. The watch has a very limited 3ATM water resistance. Later versions feature sapphire crystals, differing from earlier plexi models. Overall, owners value the Glycine Airman No. 1 GMT for its historical appeal and dial design, despite minor legibility and sizing concerns.

From video reviewers

The case finishing and dial colors are praised. The value proposition is tied to a sale price, with questions about long-term competitiveness.

Farer ROCHÉ II

The Farer ROCHÉ II is widely praised for its excellent value, thoughtful case finishing with contrasting textures, and its wearable 39mm size. Owners and reviewers highlight the quality of the dial and case, with one owner noting the five-year movement warranty. However, one owner points out the absence of lume on their version's indices, and a reviewer observed a roughness on the micro pique dial's edges in direct light. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Farer ROCHÉ II highly for its exceptional value and well-executed design at its price point.
