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.

Maen Mahjong 36

Owners widely appreciate the Maen Mahjong 36 for its quality and wearability, with some finding the green sunburst dial a subtle and fitting homage to its theme and the price reasonable. However, a segment of the community finds the design too understated for its thematic inspiration, preferring a more pronounced lacquered dial. On balance, owners rate the Maen Mahjong 36 highly for its impressive quality and wearability at its price point.
