Reviews

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

Farer Three Hand Series III

Owners widely report the Farer THREE HAND SERIES III features attractive textured dials, a La Joux-Perret G101 automatic movement with a 68-hour power reserve, and 100m water resistance with a screw-down crown. Some owners find the designs too generic compared to previous releases, though salmon and red dials are noted as appealing. One reviewer found the minute hashes difficult to read in certain lights. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Farer THREE HAND SERIES III well for its textured dials and robust movement at the price.

The Awake Watches Son Mài - Frosted Leaf is widely praised for its spectacular, three-dimensional blue Son Mài lacquer dial, featuring layered gold leaf that reviewers note avoids feeling busy.

One owner reported a loose screw in the movement, but noted Awake Watches' responsive customer service. The watch is powered by the La Joux-Perret G101 automatic movement. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Awake Watches Son Mài - Frosted Leaf highly for its dazzling dial and well-proportioned case at its price point.
