What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Farer ROCHÉ II

The Farer ROCHÉ II is widely praised for its excellent value, thoughtful case finishing with contrasting textures, and its wearable 39mm size. Owners and reviewers highlight the quality of the dial and case, with one owner noting the five-year movement warranty. However, one owner points out the absence of lume on their version's indices, and a reviewer observed a roughness on the micro pique dial's edges in direct light. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Farer ROCHÉ II highly for its exceptional value and well-executed design at its price point.

Vario 1945 D12 Bronze Fumé

Owners widely appreciate the Vario 1945 D12 Bronze Fumé for its historical representation and the use of two lume colors. The blended branding is considered tasteful by some, though one owner expressed indecision about the logo and crown position. The 37mm bronze case is designed to develop a patina, as are the bronze hands, complementing the gradient matte black dial with faux-patina lume. The Miyota 82S5 automatic movement, however, is noted by owners to be noisy and rattly, with one owner reporting +7 seconds per day accuracy and a 40-hour power reserve. Overall, owners rate the Vario 1945 D12 Bronze Fumé positively for its aesthetic appeal and historical narrative, despite the noisy movement.

From video reviewers

The bronze case developing a patina is a key aesthetic feature. Reviewers found the value proposition to be good at $428 USD.
