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.

Vario Futurist

The Vario Futurist is widely praised for its fun, retro-futuristic design and unique faceted sapphire crystal, offering significant visual intrigue at an affordable price. Owners note its ability to catch the light beautifully. One reviewer flags that the recessed crown can be difficult to operate, and the 39mm case offers more wrist presence than expected.

From video reviewers

The faceted sapphire crystal and distinctive case finishing are praised. The crown placement and sharp case edges are noted as drawbacks. Reviewers disagreed on the watch's overall value proposition.
