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.

KUOE SOMBRERO 90-011

Owners widely praise the KUOE SOMBRERO 90-011 for its stunning dials, blued hands, and quality finishing, with many highlighting its great value and vintage-inspired aesthetic. The comfortable jubilee bracelet and excellent lume are frequently mentioned positives. One owner notes the watch is "pretty thick in regards to height," and another points out minor criticism regarding the handset finish and crown edges, with indices and handset sharing a similar color that can obscure visibility. The KUOE SOMBRERO 90-011 utilizes a Miyota 9039 movement, with reported accuracy ranging from -10 to +30 seconds per day. Overall, owners rate the KUOE SOMBRERO 90-011 highly for its attractive design and value proposition.

From video reviewers

The KUOE SOMBRERO 90-011's vintage-inspired dial and hands are a strong point, with reviewers noting their aesthetic appeal. The watch's design is also praised for its uniqueness, with one reviewer calling it "design perfection." However, the relatively short 40-hour power reserve of the MIYOTA Cal.9039 automatic movement is a notable weakness.
