What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Farer Discovery II

The Farer Discovery II is widely praised for its comfortable 39.5mm wearability, suiting all wrist sizes and occasions, and its bold plum sunburst dial, which exhibits varied color interpretations. Owners also highlight the excellent case and bracelet design, with one noting it is a "dream to wear." The La Joux Perret G101 automatic movement provides a 68-hour power reserve. On balance, owners rate the Farer Discovery II highly for its comfortable wearability and attractive dial at the price.

NOMOS Glashütte Lambda deep blue

The NOMOS Glashütte Lambda deep blue is praised for its haute horology aesthetics, gorgeous movement, and striking handset, with one owner finding its 13,800 € price well worth it for the full gold case, large power reserve display, and hand-engraved movement. However, reviewers note its high-gloss enamel dial can be reflective, and some owners find its 42mm size wears large due to the thin bezel and dial proportion, while its price is considered steep by some. Opinions are split on the large power reserve display, with some finding it "weird" and others appreciating its "steampunk vibes." Overall, owners and reviewers appreciate the NOMOS Glashütte Lambda deep blue for its impressive movement and unique aesthetic, though its size and price are points of consideration.
