Reviews

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

Farer LISSOM

Owners widely praise the Farer LISSOM for its beautiful and bold designs, with multiple sources highlighting its slim 7.95mm case and elegant 38mm dimensions. Reviewers and owners alike appreciate the vibrant dial colors, intricate detailing like the subsidiary seconds display, and the horizontally brushed case side. The manual-wind La Joux-Perret D100 movement is noted, with one owner reporting a breakage after overwinding but receiving excellent customer service. Some owners find the 38mm size a bit small for their wrist, and the numeral orientation on the dial is a minor point of discussion, with one owner observing blue numerals appearing nearly black in certain light. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Farer LISSOM highly for its attractive, slim design and value proposition.

Zelos Comet 39

Owners widely praise the Zelos Comet 39 for its wearable 39mm size, thin profile under 10mm thanks to its manual-wind Sellita SW215 movement, and its captivating dial with a deep starburst effect. The winding action is described as a joy, and the watch is considered a stunner for its price, blending modern and vintage aesthetics. Some owners note frustration with Zelos's limited production runs leading to quick sell-outs. One owner found the logo childlike, while another experienced strap-rubbing issues with the short lugs, which were resolved with a Milanese bracelet. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Zelos Comet 39 highly for its excellent value and striking dial design.
