Owners + reviewers, side by side
Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.
The Awake Watches Son Mài is praised for its step up in finishing and attention to detail, featuring impressive handcrafted dials with silver leaf gilding and lacquered colors, along with excellent Super-LumiNova application. The 39mm recycled steel case is noted as comfortable and suitable for daily wear, though the dial design can make it wear larger. The dial itself is a hallmark of the collection, showcasing meticulous lacquer work and, in one instance, a hand-chiselled silhouette. The La Joux-Perret G101 automatic movement provides a 68-hour power reserve. Overall, reviewers rate the Awake Watches Son Mài highly for its meticulous dial craftsmanship and comfortable wearability.
The Son Mài's lacquer dial is consistently praised for its depth and intricate detail. Sharp lugs are cited as a drawback affecting comfort. Reviewers disagree on the value proposition compared to luxury brands.
Owners widely praise the Farer PILOT SERIES II for its purposeful design, remarkable legibility, and trademark use of color, with many finding its 39mm case and 45mm lug-to-lug dimensions to be perfect proportions. Some owners, however, find the watch pricey and note its use of grade 2 titanium. Opinions are split on the minute numerals on the black dial, with some finding them less appealing. One owner noted a misaligned Roman I index on a specific model. On balance, owners rate the Farer PILOT SERIES II highly for its unique dial designs and excellent wearability.
