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.

Glycine Airman Contemporary GMT

Owners widely praise the Glycine Airman Contemporary GMT for its outstanding value and attractive design, noting its ability to track three time zones and the functional dual 12-hour and 24-hour dial with a precisely toothed, free-spinning bezel that can be locked. Some owners find the GMT hand's similarity to the minute hand frustrating, and the ETA movement can exhibit a misaligned GMT hand. One owner notes the lume pips are weaker than the hands, while another highlights its 200m water resistance and considered it a great beater. Overall, owners rate the Glycine Airman Contemporary GMT highly for its unique functionality and value proposition.

From video reviewers

The case finishing and dial details are praised. The watch offers exceptional value with its Swiss Made GMT functionality for under $500.
