What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Farer MOONPHASE

Owners widely praise the Farer MOONPHASE for its unique design, hand-painted moon elements, and satisfying construction, with many highlighting the X1 Super-LumiNova indices and numerals for excellent nighttime legibility. The watch features a 38.5mm cushion case with a distinctive "grain twist" finish and is powered by a Sellita SW288-1 Ma Elaboré Grade movement. Some owners find the moonphase complication easy to set and appreciate the brand's customer service. However, opinions are divided on the price, with some finding it a bit high, and the lume on the hands and hour markers receives mixed feedback, with one owner describing it as "absolute trash" and another as "almost non-existent" while others note its legibility. The thickness of the included leather straps is also mentioned as a trade-off. Overall, owners rate the Farer MOONPHASE highly for its unique character and hand-crafted details at its price point.

From video reviewers

The Farer MOONPHASE has amazing lume and a reliable movement. The case finishing is not perfect, with a polishing flaw. Reviewers disagree on the watch's design, with one highlighting the unique moonphase complication and range of designs, while the other does not mention any specific design-related issues.

Christopher Ward C63 Sealander GMT

The Christopher Ward C63 Sealander GMT is praised for its comfortable wearability, with reviewers noting its slim profile, short lugs, and 39mm case size, while others prefer the proportions of the 36mm version. The watch features a Light-catcher case with alternating brushed and polished surfaces, and the Bader bracelet is highlighted for its build quality and comfort at its price point. Some owners find the gloss white dial's text and indices small, and the orange accents can appear yellow. The Sellita SW330-2 movement provides caller GMT functionality and a 56-hour power reserve. On balance, owners and reviewers appreciate the Christopher Ward C63 Sealander GMT for its comfortable wearability and solid bracelet construction at its price.
