Farer LISSOMvsSeiko Presage Sharp Edged Series

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.

The Seiko Presage Sharp Edged Series is widely praised for its modern, angular case design and intricate Asanoha dial patterns, with reviewers highlighting its refined finishing and strong cultural significance. Owners and reviewers consistently note the 70-hour power reserve from the 6R35 movement (or 6R38/6R5J in some variants), anti-reflective sapphire crystals, and 10 bar water resistance. The collection is considered competitively priced, offering significant value for its design and build quality. Some models feature a super-hard coating on the case and bracelet. One owner notes the black dial of the SARX083 offers a subtle pop in the light, and another reviewer points out that a 24-hour indicator on certain models is a niche feature. Case sizes vary, with some models at 39.3mm and others at 40.2mm, and thickness ranges from 11.1mm to 11.8mm. Power reserves differ, with some models featuring 45 hours from the 6R21 movement.
