Sellita

Sellita's day-date automatic caliber, the equivalent of the ETA 2834-2. Adds day and date complications to the proven SW200-1 base architecture while maintaining the same 28,800 vph beat rate and 38-hour power reserve. The additional 0.45mm of height over the SW200-1 accommodates the day display mechanism. A reliable workhorse for brands needing a day-date Swiss automatic at competitive pricing.

03The community take

Owners talk.

“

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.
