    Have 5 Farers. The colors they do are just... sooooo good and usually not replicated anywhere else (which is saying something) . The build quality is amazing and the price point is fair for the detailing/styles/case detailing. Highly recommended!

    Farer IS a good Brand but i think you should have compared this watch to an Omega seamaster than a sub . Thé dial looks like more to an Omega as a sub

    I think all the interesting watch design is being done by micro brands, and Farer is definitely one of the best. They also make their watches a sensible, wearable size, unlike the fuddy-duddy big brands who (mostly)seem to view anything less than 40mm (& >48mm lug-to-lug) as a ‘ladies’ watch.

    The idea that any watch is a “Rolex killer” is always nonsense. Rolex sells an image, feeling, status. Tons of watches are better than the physical specs of a Rolex, but that’s not what they sell.

    • @Jay-xr3sb

      Wearing a Rolex just makes people envious and the buying experience is horrible. the market is dominated by flippers, 'investors' and those with a basic knowledge of watches.
      I have one but rarely wear it.
      It's a fashion item for those chasing said image, but equally hated.

    I literally just received my Nazare less than a week ago and I’ve been stoked to wear it. The strap options go so well with the watch and it definitely gets attention. It should be mentioned that the colour combinations aren’t the only sweet spot, the build quality of the watch also deserves that qualification. Satisfying heft and size to be comfortable for my 6.9” wrist, it’s definitely a keeper

      I have 2 CW's and 3 Farers (maybe 4 after this video). Both make really good watches but I find that Farer are just more inventive and fun to wear. Also I do think CW's recent explosion in popularity has come at a cost on their customer services, hopefully they sort this out.

      I personally love Farer’s line up of watches. Most of Christopher ward selection seem somewhat stale in comparison. I’m yet to see the 12 or bel canto which are highly lauded but so far Farer watches are fresher, more fun, better design language and less generic.

  • @mybrainlikesthings
    @mybrainlikesthings ปีที่แล้ว

    Perhaps the other quality of Farer -- the unseen one -- is how good they are as buyers. Farer doesn't have any quartz watches at the time of writing, but last year they had a selection of quartz flyback rattrapante chronographs that are comparably wonderful as their mechanical siblings. How do Farer quartz stand out from the millions of others out there? They chose an above-par movement that's accurate to somewhere between Casio LCD watch and a thermo-compensated quartz. It isn't the best of the best, but neither is it average and ho-hum. Farer found a supply of these and put them into watches until they ran out.

    At law, there is a rule of contract interpretation that titles and subtitles are irrelevant in determining the parties’ intent. Perhaps that is why I’m not fazed by Rolex appearing in every TH-cam video title. If the video itself is well produced and interesting, then we can all forgive a little accommodation to the algorithmic gods in Mountain View.
