What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Farr + Swit Vice

The Farr + Swit Vice is widely praised for its vibrant, 1980s-inspired colorways and unique dial designs, with owners frequently highlighting its fun aesthetic and legibility. Reviewers and owners alike note its comfortable wearability and good value, especially considering the included straps. The watch features extensive lume applications, which are described as great by one owner. Some owners express a desire for an automatic movement option or the removal of the date function. The Farr + Swit Vice is a solar quartz chronograph with a simulated "mecha" chronograph function, which some find lacks the tactile feel of true mechaquartz. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Farr + Swit Vice highly for its distinctive style and value proposition.

Formex Field Automatic

Owners widely praise the Formex Field Automatic for its lightweight, scratch-resistant Grade 2 titanium case with a hardening treatment and its comfortable wearability, especially with quick-release straps and a carbon clasp. Reviewers and owners alike highlight the dial's legibility and depth, with one noting the Petrol Blue's great color and subtle texture. The Sellita SW200-1 movement is considered a practical choice, with one owner reporting accuracy of +1 second per day. The watch offers 150m water resistance and is seen as good value under $1000. Some owners desire a matching titanium bracelet and find the numeral typography less appealing. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Formex Field Automatic highly for its robust, comfortable titanium construction and functional dial design at its price point.
