Farer LISSOMvsNodus Sector II GMT

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 and reviewers widely praise the Nodus Sector II GMT for its versatile, refined design and surprisingly good finishing for its compelling price point. The watch features a regulated Seiko NH34 movement, running at +5 seconds per day according to one review, a sapphire crystal with AR coating, and 100 meters of water resistance. Some owners wish for lume on the GMT hand and prefer a bi-directional GMT bezel over the 120-click dive timing bezel, while others find the NH34 movement overpriced for the cost. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Nodus Sector II GMT highly for its refined design and impressive finishing at its price point.
