What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Farer LISSOM

Farer Lissom owners and reviewers widely praise its slim 7.95mm case and elegant 38mm dimensions, noting its well-balanced proportions and comfortable wearability. The vibrant and colorful dial designs, intricate details like grained textures and sunken sub-dials, and lume-filled dauphine hands are frequently highlighted as strengths. The manual-wind La Joux-Perret D100 movement is mentioned, with a claimed accuracy of +/- 15 seconds and a 50-hour power reserve, though one owner reported a movement failure after overwinding, which was resolved with excellent customer service. Some owners find the blue numerals and hands appear nearly black unless catching the light, and opinions are split on the 38mm size, with some finding it ideal and others a bit small for their wrist. The 42.8mm lug-to-lug measurement is noted as potentially appearing odd on larger wrists. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Farer Lissom highly for its striking design and slim, wearable case at its price point.

CWC T20 General Service Quartz Watch

The CWC T20 General Service Quartz Watch is widely praised for its simple, clean, and classic look, with owners considering it a classy and comfortable field watch. Its 38mm tonneau case is seen by some as a cool retro piece representative of original MOD specifications, though others find this size too small for larger wrists. The watch is noted for keeping accurate time, with one owner reporting it as practical for everyday wear. It features a stainless steel case, sapphire crystal, and a Ronda 715 movement. A limitation mentioned is the fixed lugs, which restrict strap versatility. Overall, owners rate the CWC T20 General Service Quartz Watch highly for its classic military-inspired aesthetic and reliable timekeeping at an affordable price.
