What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Ferro & Company TIME MASTER 70 BLUE /

Owners widely praise the Ferro & Company TIME MASTER 70 BLUE / for its comfortable 39mm size and excellent wearability, with reviewers highlighting its distinctive TV dial and retro case shape. The bracelet is frequently commended for its on-the-fly micro-adjust clasp and comfortable fit, and build quality is noted as a strong point. The Miyota 9039 movement is described as solid and smooth-winding, featuring hacking seconds. Some owners find the design potentially too retro, while others appreciate its unique aesthetic and elevated secondhand. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Ferro & Company TIME MASTER 70 BLUE / highly for its comfortable dimensions and well-executed vintage design at its price point.

Farer GMT

The Farer GMT Automatic is praised for its vibrant, legible sunburst dial and well-proportioned 39.5mm x 10mm case. Reviewers note the ETA 2893-2 movement as a good choice with hacking seconds and a 42-hour power reserve. The bronze crown, intended to develop a patina, is flagged as a potentially unpopular design element that some feel looks unfinished or out of place. Prices range from $1,425 to $2,150 AUD. Overall, reviewers find the Farer GMT Automatic offers good value for a GMT watch in its price segment, with the dial and case proportions being key strengths.
