What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Bell & Ross BR-05 GMT Sky Blue

Owners and reviewers widely praise the Bell & Ross BR-05 GMT Sky Blue for its excellent finishing, sharp transitions between brushed and polished surfaces, and attractive blue sunray dial. It is noted to wear well on wrists under 6.5 inches. Some owners question its value proposition due to the Sellita movement, and one owner finds the crown can be fussy to use, while another notes sharp edges on the bracelet links. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Bell & Ross BR-05 GMT Sky Blue highly for its cohesive package and attractive case execution.

Farer GMT

The Farer GMT Automatic is praised for its vibrant, legible sunburst dial and well-proportioned 39.5mm x 10mm case. Reviewers note the ETA 2893-2 movement as a good choice with hacking seconds and a 42-hour power reserve. The bronze crown, intended to develop a patina, is flagged as a potentially unpopular design element that some feel looks unfinished or out of place. Prices range from $1,425 to $2,150 AUD. Overall, reviewers find the Farer GMT Automatic offers good value for a GMT watch in its price segment, with the dial and case proportions being key strengths.
