What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

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.

Seestern S456 GMT

Owners widely praise the Seestern S456 GMT for its exceptional value and finishing that exceeds expectations, with one owner noting its accuracy surpasses that of their Seiko 5. The dial displays a pearl-like rainbow effect. Some owners would prefer a bidirectional bezel over the current unidirectional one. The Seestern S456 GMT features an NH34 movement, a 39.5mm case, sapphire crystal, and an adjustable clasp. On balance, owners rate the Seestern S456 GMT highly for its impressive finishing and value proposition at its price point.

From video reviewers

The watch features stunning, detailed finishing that is difficult to top. Reviewers did not reach a consensus on any weaknesses.
