What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

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.

Vario 1918 Trench Brass

Owners widely praise the Vario 1918 Trench Brass for its attractive, precisely made dial and case, with the evolving brass patina noted as a positive feature. The bund strap is considered comfortable and well-fitting by some, though others find it stiff and short for larger wrists. The lume is considered poor. The Miyota 82s5 movement is described as adequate, with accuracy ranging from about -10 seconds per day to simply running slow. On balance, owners rate the Vario 1918 Trench Brass highly for its fantastic looks and the unique character of its brass case.
