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.

Oak & Oscar The Humboldt 12-hr

Oak & Oscar The Humboldt 12-hr owners widely praise its comfortable, solid bracelet with screw links and tight end-link fit, along with its awesome sandwich dial featuring superb grain and crisp details. The 12-hour bezel is noted as excellent for tracking a second time zone, and the orange second hand adds a nice pop. One owner reports the watch has outstanding quality and a perfect fit on smaller wrists, while another notes its legibility and great presence on various straps. A reviewer describes it as a 40mm stainless steel tool watch with a matte, brushed finish and a sandwich dial, powered by an ETA 2892-A2 movement with a 42-hour power reserve. Some in the line report the lume could be brighter. On balance, owners and reviewers rate Oak & Oscar The Humboldt 12-hr highly for its build quality and versatile tool-watch design.
