What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Farer 35MM CUSHION CASE

Owners widely praise the Farer 35MM CUSHION CASE for its compact wearability, with a 10mm thickness and 38mm lug-to-lug measurement, and its attractive, art deco-inspired dials featuring vibrant color gradients. Reviewers highlight the reinterpreted case angles, steeper bezel slope, and the visually appealing hand-wound Sellita SW210-1 movement with custom finishing. Some owners find the 35mm size wears smaller than expected, while others note cushion cases can wear larger than their stated diameter, and there is a split opinion on whether the 35mm size is ideal for all wrists. The watch is powered by a Sellita SW210-1 movement with a 45-hour power reserve and is water resistant to 50 meters, priced around $1165/€1,195/£1,045. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Farer 35MM CUSHION CASE highly for its distinctive design and perceived value.

Glycine Airman Vintage The Chief GMT

Owners widely appreciate the Glycine Airman Vintage The Chief GMT for its historical significance and homage to the 1953 original. However, one owner notes criticism regarding the main hour hand being a 12-hour hand on a 24-hour dial, which hinders its intended use and compromises the bezel's functionality, leading to a return. On balance, owners value the Glycine Airman Vintage The Chief GMT for its historical connection, though a functional critique exists regarding its hour hand implementation.
