What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Fears Arnos (Blue)

The Fears Arnos (Blue) is lauded for its striking blue galvanic dial with a hobnail surround and Roman numerals, housed in a vintage-inspired 33.5mm rectangular stainless steel case measuring 8.4mm in thickness. Reviewers note the convenience of its automatic Sellita SW1000-1b movement, which offers a 46-hour power reserve. On balance, reviewers praise the Fears Arnos (Blue) for its distinctive dial and slim, wearable case.

Boldr Safari

Owners widely praise the Boldr Safari for its attractive dials, robust build with 200 meters of water resistance, and reliable Seiko movements. The California dial design is a frequent highlight, as is the strong lume. Some owners note the GMT variant offers full GMT functionality, while others point out the movement's date-only nature on certain models leads to a vestigial crown position. The animal artwork on the display caseback is a point of contention, with some finding it detracts from the view of the movement. Overall, owners rate the Boldr Safari highly for its value and distinctive design elements.
