Owners widely praise the Farr + Swit Wayfinder for its vibrant, bold blue dial and excellent nighttime lume. The smooth sweeping seconds hand is also a noted positive, with one owner highlighting it as an amazing example of Chicago style watchmaking. The NATO strap is considered durable and comfortable by some, though others find the full lume dial difficult to read. The Farr + Swit Wayfinder is powered by a Seiko NH35 automatic movement. Overall, owners rate the Farr + Swit Wayfinder highly for its eye-catching dial and lume at its price point.

Owners widely praise the Farer Lethbridge Gold's attractive appearance and finishing, with one owner calling its PVD gold finish the best they've seen. The watch runs at +4 seconds per day. Some owners note the gold PVD coating can scratch easily and fades slightly on edges, and the original strap tarnished quickly, leading some to seek strap alternatives like blue or gray leather, or NATO/sailcloth. One owner mentions its manual-wind movement and that it is not real gold, which is acceptable given the price. Overall, owners rate the Farer Lethbridge Gold highly for its striking aesthetics and good value, despite minor concerns about the strap and PVD durability.
