What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Farer PILOT SERIES II

Owners widely praise the Farer PILOT SERIES II for its purposeful design, remarkable legibility, and trademark use of color, with many finding its 39mm case and 45mm lug-to-lug dimensions to be perfect proportions. Some owners, however, find the watch pricey and note its use of grade 2 titanium. Opinions are split on the minute numerals on the black dial, with some finding them less appealing. One owner noted a misaligned Roman I index on a specific model. On balance, owners rate the Farer PILOT SERIES II highly for its unique dial designs and excellent wearability.

Glycine Combat Sub Sport Bronze

Owners widely praise the Glycine Combat Sub Sport Bronze for its exceptional thinness, comfortable proportions, and finishing, with many appreciating its unique, non-homage design and the potential for a developing bronze patina. Reviewers and owners alike highlight its excellent value below $500, noting features like a Swiss movement with hacking, sapphire crystal, 200m water resistance, and excellent bezel action. Some owners find the crown digs into the wrist, and the original strap or bracelet is frequently disliked. Lume quality and power reserve consistency are noted as areas for improvement by some. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Glycine Combat Sub Sport Bronze highly for its impressive finishing and slim profile at its price point.
