What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

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.

Orient Bambino Solar Quartz

Owners widely praise the Orient Bambino Solar Quartz for its nice finishing and value, with one owner noting it was worth the $220 spent. However, reviewers consistently flag the mineral crystal as a significant drawback, prone to scratches and abrasions. One owner reports the Orient Bambino Solar Quartz wears thinner due to its lighter movement and less robust construction. Overall, owners rate the Orient Bambino Solar Quartz highly for its finishing and value, despite the mineral crystal's susceptibility to scratches.
