Farer GMTvsWolbrook Skindiver WT Professional

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.

The Wolbrook Skindiver WT Professional is praised by owners for its straightforward design, retro aesthetic, and comfortable Beads of Rice bracelet with ample micro-adjustments. Reviewers and owners highlight its beautiful two-tone color, bold green dial, and box sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating. Accuracy figures vary, with one source stating the Miyota 8315 movement is adjusted in France to ±15 seconds per day, while another owner notes it as a mecaquartz with good accuracy for its price. Some owners find the 40mm case wears smaller than expected, though one noted it felt larger. Feedback on the movement is mixed, with some preferring the Miyota 8315 over the 8215, and one commenter suggesting a Sellita SW200 would be more appropriate for the price. One reviewer expressed disappointment with mismatched hand and lume colors, poor lume performance, bezel wobble, and a high-sitting strap.
