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.

William Wood Beacon

The William Wood Beacon is praised for its bold flavors, particularly its prominent oak and rye influence, with tasting notes of candied orange peel, dried apricots, and baking spices, and a long, full finish. Some find its oak-forward profile overwhelming and its MSRP of $300 unreasonable. Overall, owners rate the William Wood Beacon highly for its bold flavors and character, with one owner awarding it a score of 9.4/10.
