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 Contemporary 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.

From video reviewers

The case finishing and dial details are praised. The watch offers exceptional value with its Swiss Made GMT functionality for under $500.

Farer GMT

The Farer GMT Automatic is praised for its vibrant, legible sea-green sunburst dial and well-proportioned 39.5mm, 10mm thin case. The Top Grade ETA 2893-2 movement offers hacking seconds and a 42-hour power reserve. Reviewers note the bronze crown, intended to develop patina, as a potentially unpopular design choice. Overall, reviewers consider the Farer GMT Automatic good value at its price point, highlighting the dial and case proportions as key strengths.
