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.

Tissot PRX

The Tissot PRX is widely praised for its excellent case and bracelet finishing, offering remarkable value and a luxurious feel that belies its price point. Owners and reviewers consistently highlight its comfortable, thin profile and integrated bracelet design. The dial pattern is noted for its retro, 1980s aesthetic, and the reliable automatic movement contributes to its appeal as a strong contender for a first mechanical watch. However, some owners point out a lack of micro-adjustment on the bracelet clasp, and one reviewer noted issues with quality control on a chronograph model, including a malfunctioning hand and dust on the dial. The sapphire crystal's lack of AR-coating and the shininess of the hour and minute hands are also mentioned as minor drawbacks. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Tissot PRX highly for its exceptional finishing and value proposition.

From video reviewers

The Powermatic 80 movement's reliability and 80-hour power reserve are consistently praised. The integrated bracelet's susceptibility to scratches is a noted weakness. Reviewers disagreed on whether the Powermatic 80 movement's accuracy significantly surpasses the quartz version.
