What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

MKII Project 300

Owners widely praise the MKII Project 300 for its balanced aesthetic, with one owner noting its lume "glows like a torch." Reviewers highlight its design as a dive watch inspired by the Omega Seamaster 300, emphasizing high legibility with a bold yet balanced appearance. One owner found the 41.25mm case fit their wrist perfectly. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the MKII Project 300 highly for its striking lume and well-proportioned dive watch design.

Farer AQUAMATIC

Owners widely praise the Farer AQUAMATIC for its vibrant color palettes, clean design, and excellent wearability, particularly on its 38.5mm case, with multiple sources highlighting its value under $1,000 and the inclusion of multiple strap options. Reviewers and owners alike commend its build quality and dial details, with one owner noting the double AR coating. Accuracy figures vary, with one owner reporting great timekeeping and another experiencing a watch running about 4 seconds per hour slow, requiring service. Some find the Sellita SW220-1 movement unremarkable, and the day/date font colors are noted by one owner as making the dial feel busy, while bezel grip is described as okay with slight wiggle, common for its price point. Overall, owners rate the Farer AQUAMATIC highly for its fun design and strong value proposition.

From video reviewers

The Farer AQUAMATIC features a visually appealing design with bold red accents and a spearmint dial. The watch's Swiss-made movement is a notable aspect. The price point is a trade-off against more established brands in the market.
