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.

Tudor Black Bay GMT

The Tudor Black Bay GMT is widely praised for its in-house movement offering local jumping GMT functionality, its impressive case finishing, and its vintage-inspired, drop-dead good looks. Reviewers highlight its strong value and consider it a quintessential sport watch for travelers. Some enthusiasts find its 15mm thickness divisive, though beveled edges visually reduce its perceived size. Overall, reviewers rate the Tudor Black Bay GMT highly for its excellent design and travel functionality at its price point.

From video reviewers

The Tudor Black Bay GMT is praised for its aesthetic appeal, capturing a vintage GMT-Master II feel. Reviewers note the robust Calibre MT5652 movement with a 70-hour power reserve. The watch's thickness and 41mm diameter lead to it wearing larger than its specifications suggest for some wearers.
