Farer Discovery IIvsBrew Metric

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.

The Brew Metric is widely praised for its 1970s-inspired retro design, with reviewers and owners specifically highlighting its unique dial aesthetics, compact 36mm case size, and comfortable wearability on various wrist sizes. The watch's finishing is frequently lauded, with particular appreciation for its contrasting brushed and polished surfaces and well-executed gold treatment. Owners also note the pleasing feel of the pushers and crown, the accuracy of the VK68 meca-quartz movement, and the sapphire crystal. However, some owners report quality control issues, including dial defects and missing lume, and a few find the bezel dents easily. The bracelet is a point of contention, with some finding it uncomfortable and prone to pulling arm hairs, while others praise its dramatic taper. The watch's 50-meter water resistance is considered cautious by one reviewer, and the lug width of 19.85mm limits strap options.
