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

Awake Watches Son Mài

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.

From video reviewers

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.

Farer Discovery Olive

Owners widely praise the Farer Discovery Olive for its unusual dial color, crisp indices and hands, and versatile wearability, with one owner noting its fit and finishing punches above its price point. The optional bracelet design is praised, though one owner observes it does not sit flush with the case. Accuracy is reported at +8 seconds per day. On balance, owners rate the Farer Discovery Olive highly for its surprising quality and distinctive aesthetic at its price.
