Reviews

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 attractive, art deco-inspired dials and perceived value, with many finding it wears compactly without appearing too small due to its 38mm lug-to-lug and 10mm thickness. Reviewers highlight the reinterpreted, dramatic case angles, steeper bezel slope, and vibrant, textured gradient dials. The manual-wind Sellita SW210-1 movement, noted for its custom engraving, perlage, and blued screws, is also appreciated by some. Owners are split on whether the cushion case wears larger than its stated 35mm diameter, with some finding it wears small and others questioning its size. One owner finds the manual-wind movement's quiet operation preferable to automatics, while another notes wear on the winding mechanism and the lack of a power reserve indicator as downsides. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Farer 35MM CUSHION CASE highly for its distinctive design and value proposition.

From video reviewers

The dial's texture and color shift are noted strengths. The bracelet quality is a cited weakness.

Makydo Contour

Owners widely praise the Makydo Contour's asymmetrical case shape and elegant design, finding it suitable for dressier occasions. Some owners note the leather strap is more appropriate for formal wear. The price of €587.39 is a point of contention, with several commenters questioning its value. Overall, owners appreciate the Makydo Contour's distinctive design, though its price is a recurring concern.

From video reviewers

The Makydo Contour is praised for its comfortable fit due to its slim case and compact lug-to-lug. The Miyota 9015/9039 automatic movement is considered reliable for the price point. The 30-meter water resistance is a noted limitation.
