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.

Marathon Steel Navigator SSNAV-D Quartz

The Marathon Steel Navigator SSNAV-D Quartz is widely praised for its high-accuracy Swiss Made ETA F06.412 HeavyDrive-PreciDrive quartz movement, rated at +/- 10 seconds per year, and its tritium lume. Reviewers and owners highlight its functional tool-watch appeal, noting the sandblasted steel case with an asymmetric design, excellent bi-directional bezel action, and drilled lug holes. Some owners find it perfectly suited for sport/rugged use, though not necessarily as an everyday watch. One owner points out that the case's distinctive asymmetry deviates from current aesthetic trends. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Marathon Steel Navigator SSNAV-D Quartz highly for its robust build and exceptional timekeeping accuracy at its price point.
