What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Farer THREE HAND SERIES III

Owners widely praise the Farer THREE HAND SERIES III for its attractive dial colors, particularly the salmon and red variants, and its well-proportioned 36mm case. The watch features a textured dial, screw-down crown, and 100m water resistance, powered by a La Joux-Perret G101 movement offering a 68-hour power reserve. Some owners find the designs generic compared to previous releases. Reviewers note the minute hashes can be difficult to read in certain lights, and the included strap is considered too thick and stiff. Overall, owners rate the Farer THREE HAND SERIES III highly for its vibrant dials and well-proportioned case.

Sternglas Berlin Automatik

Owners widely praise the Sternglas Berlin Automatik for its handsome, clean dial and a 38mm size that fits smaller wrists well, making it a comfortable daily wearer. The case is described as solid and well-finished. However, the Miyota 8205 movement is noted as reliable but noticeably loud, and the exhibition caseback is unadorned. Some owners find the watch too simple and question the value, citing basic movement and strap choices for the price, with a few feeling the proportions and day/date complication are off. Overall, owners appreciate the Sternglas Berlin Automatik for its classic design and wearability, though some debate its value proposition.
