Farer Discovery IIvsXeric NASA Apollo 15 American Automatic

Owners widely praise the Farer Discovery II for its bold plum dial and excellent case and bracelet design, noting its thin 39.5mm wearability makes it a dream to wear and suits all wrist sizes. The watch features a sunburst dial with varied color interpretations and a 68-hour power reserve from its La Joux Perret G101 automatic movement, and comes with both an OEM blue leather strap and a Farer bracelet. On balance, owners rate the Farer Discovery II highly for its comfortable wearability and attractive dial at the price.

The Xeric NASA Apollo 15 American Automatic is praised for its unique space-themed dial design and its ability to deliver on its concept, with owners finding it aesthetically pleasing and a good conversation starter. Legibility is noted as not great by some, though the dial and face design are considered selling points. Owners report mixed reviews, with some appreciating the solidly made watches and their great designs, while others express doubt about the watches being made in the US. One owner found the design amazing but felt the execution was not at the desired level, though it was considered reasonably priced. The AmeriChron caliber X3.1 automatic movement is not as accurate as mainstream Swiss or Japanese movements. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Xeric NASA Apollo 15 American Automatic well for its unique concept and dial design, despite some concerns about legibility and execution.
