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.

Boldr Safari

Owners widely praise the Boldr Safari for its attractive dials, robust build with 200 meters of water resistance, and reliable Seiko movements. The California dial design is a frequent highlight, as is the strong lume. Some owners note the GMT variant offers full GMT functionality, while others point out the movement's date-only nature on certain models leads to a vestigial crown position. The animal artwork on the display caseback is a point of contention, with some finding it detracts from the view of the movement. Overall, owners rate the Boldr Safari highly for its value and distinctive design elements.
