Owners talk.

“

The Farr + Swit Solar Chrono Vice 2.0 is widely praised for its bold, retro 1980s aesthetic, drawing inspiration from synthwave and 1980s car posters, with owners calling it a fun and functional timepiece that garners many comments. Reviewers and owners highlight its impressive lume, solar convenience, and solid build quality, including a sapphire crystal and US assembly. However, some find the 42mm case size too large, preferring a smaller option, and the chronograph pushers lack the tactile feel of traditional mechaquartz movements, with a reset action that is not a snappy mechanical snap. The $525-$535 price is noted as higher than comparable mainstream solar chronographs. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Farr + Swit Solar Chrono Vice 2.0 highly for its distinctive 1980s-inspired design and vibrant, functional features at its price point.
