Farr + Swit Solar ChronovsSpinnaker Dumas GMT

The Farr + Swit Solar Chrono is widely praised for its vibrant, 1980s-inspired aesthetic and solid build quality, including a sapphire crystal. Owners appreciate its appearance from all angles, particularly its lack of crown guards, and the excellent lume application. Some reviewers note the 42mm case may wear large for wrists under 7 inches, and one owner dislikes the chrome case. The solar quartz chronograph movement is a key feature, though one owner points out the chronograph hand's slow reset indicates it is not a mecha-quartz movement as sometimes suggested. Overall, owners and reviewers find the Farr + Swit Solar Chrono to be a cool watch with a well-crafted design and good value.

Owners praise the Spinnaker Dumas GMT's satisfying lume, including on the crown, and good finishing, with one owner finding it wears well on a 17cm wrist. The watch features a Seiko NH34A GMT movement and a blue gradient dial. Reviewers note its 44mm diameter and 209g weight on the bracelet make it unsuitable for smaller wrists.
