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.

Traska Summiteer Charcoal

Owners widely praise the Traska Summiteer Charcoal for its comfortable 38.5mm size, short lugs, clean dial, and proud crystal, with some noting its excellent fit and finish and smooth winding action. Timekeeping averages +2 seconds per day, and the hardened steel treatment is a valued addition. Some owners find the dial plain and prefer textured alternatives, and one owner experienced dial alignment issues with a recent Traska release. The bracelet is criticized by some for being noisy, sagging, and having a clasp with rough edges, though others praise its on-the-fly micro-adjustment. On balance, owners rate the Traska Summiteer Charcoal highly for its overall package and value proposition at its price point.
