Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.
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 Xeric NASA Apollo 15 American Automatic is praised for its unique space-themed dial design and its ability to deliver on its concept, with owners finding it aesthetically pleasing and a good conversation starter. Legibility is noted as not great by some, though the dial and face design are considered selling points. Owners report mixed reviews, with some appreciating the solidly made watches and their great designs, while others express doubt about the watches being made in the US. One owner found the design amazing but felt the execution was not at the desired level, though it was considered reasonably priced. The AmeriChron caliber X3.1 automatic movement is not as accurate as mainstream Swiss or Japanese movements. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Xeric NASA Apollo 15 American Automatic well for its unique concept and dial design, despite some concerns about legibility and execution.
