Glycine Airman Contemporary GMTvsFarer GMT

Owners widely praise the Glycine Airman Contemporary GMT for its outstanding value and attractive design, noting its ability to track three time zones and the functional dual 12-hour and 24-hour dial with a precisely toothed, free-spinning bezel that can be locked. Some owners find the GMT hand's similarity to the minute hand frustrating, and the ETA movement can exhibit a misaligned GMT hand. One owner notes the lume pips are weaker than the hands, while another highlights its 200m water resistance and considered it a great beater. Overall, owners rate the Glycine Airman Contemporary GMT highly for its unique functionality and value proposition.

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.
