Farer Marsden

One owner notes the Farer Marsden's 50M water resistance as low and reports a lack of resistance when winding, describing it as feeling broken. Another owner finds the Farer Marsden's price high compared to other field watches, questioning its value proposition despite acknowledging its attractive design. Overall, owners find Farer watches to offer good value, though one owner suggests the experience and product may not be worth the hype.

Tissot PRX Damascus Steel

The 38mm size is considered reasonable for the price, though it may be too small for some wrists. One owner experienced a scratch that detracted from the Damascus pattern, which was resolved by the dealer. The reviewer found the Damascus steel "a bit over the top." Overall, owners rate the Tissot PRX Damascus Steel positively for its unique aesthetic and value, despite some finding the Damascus pattern an acquired taste.
