Farer LISSOMvsResco Patriot Gen1 (fixed bezel) - Stainless

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.

Owners widely praise the Resco Patriot Gen1 (fixed bezel) - Stainless for its intrinsic toughness, superior underwater usability, and clean, subtle case and dial designs, with the traditional diver look and destro crown option being particular highlights. The domed sapphire crystal and its pelagic blue hue are also noted positives, alongside a smooth, grippy 120-click bezel action and lume that displays distinct blue and green. Some owners report accuracy ranging from +4/-4 seconds per day to approximately -9 seconds over 7 days, and one enthusiast considers the price of around $2000 for the fixed bezel model without a bracelet to be high. On balance, owners rate the Resco Patriot Gen1 (fixed bezel) - Stainless highly for its robust build and thoughtful design elements like the destro crown.
