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.

Citizen The Citizen Caliber A060

The Citizen Caliber A060 is widely praised for its exceptionally light, scratch-resistant Duratect-coated titanium case with a gold hue, and its highly accurate solar quartz movement. Owners appreciate its understated style, engineering, and versatile 38mm size, with many finding it a beautiful, well-built GADA watch with fantastic lume. Accuracy figures vary among owners, with some reporting gains of around 7 seconds per year, exceeding the advertised ±5 seconds, while others note near-zero deviation. One owner is bothered by a date change occurring 14 minutes past the hour, speculating it could be a defect. Overall, owners and reviewers consider The Citizen Caliber A060 a great value, particularly for its solar power, perpetual calendar, and independent hour hand features.
