What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Glycine Airman Purist

Owners widely praise the Glycine Airman Purist for its attractive appearance and comfortable wearability, with the 24-hour dial proving easy to adapt to for many. Some models feature high-contrast hands and lumed dials that offer excellent visibility, though certain stealth designs are criticized for poor legibility. The case back on contemporary models is noted as being easier to open for regulation. Overall, owners rate the Glycine Airman Purist highly for its appealing design and user-friendly 24-hour dial.

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.
