The colorways remind me of a grown-up version of the old TAG-Heuer F-1 plastic watches. This is a watch for Monte Carlo on F1 weekend, the French Riviera and the Almafi Coast.
Cool colors ! As for Day/date, at first seems a worthwhile complication, but in my rotation of my auto/mech watches, its been a year since I could de bothered to set day/date. Better for placement on quartz.
Congrats on finally getting a Farer. That is such a vibrant look - it will be impossible for you to look at it on your wrist and not smile. Own 2 - automatic GMT and a Quartz chrono with a beautiful vintage look. Great value for money. Not a day complication person - believe it just clutters the dial. But they pulled it off with those colors.
That's a very sweet looking watch. My absolute favorite summer dive watch (and my favorite watch I own) is my Squale 60 Atmos with the blue and white on a Staib mesh bracelet.
I recently bought a Farer myself, and I'm very happy with it! The attention to detail is amazing! But regarding your watch, is the bezel aligned properly? It looked to be slightly off, in a Seiko kind of way. And it's a shame the rubber strap is not colour matched as well in real life as in the photos...
So this exact watch has a special place in my heart, I bought one to commemorate my mother's life, she died just a few years ago- she was a very colorful woman whom I greatly miss. The folks at Farer engraved a memorial to her on the back of the watch for me. I will always cherish this watch as a reminder of a wonderful woman who could light up a room with her presence!
Your review convinced me finally to pull the trigger and add a Farer to my collection. Since real men wear colorful watches, I also went with the Thurso, aka the Dan Sub-Marino.
So i splashed out on the Farer Bernina Chrono (White dial and bezel with red and blue accents) because I love the colour scheme. It also has cream as well as white and it all works together to look amazing. Although it's a 41mm but wears more like a 39 and at first I nearly sold it as it's just too small for me on the supplied strap. However I tried it on a red leather bund strap with white stitching and it looks perfect - more wrist presence as well as great colour coordination. And so I've kept it, at least for now.
Should be a hit with Miami Dolphins fans with that color selection! I love a day/date…wish I saw more of them. And I love the choices you have with all those straps available; wish more brands packaged their watches thus. We need more fun watches in our collections! Cheers!
My step dad had a red one, drove all the way from France to Poland to pick me up and drive me back, that was 1976! Car broke down in Germany (cam belt as I recall, I was 6). He then wrote the car off in Tunisia by landing on the roof after coming off the road...ahhhh memories! Thank Jody 😁
Excellent review, which echoes my sentiments exactly. I have exactly the same variant and it is ,as you say, a perfect summer wstch. Needless to say, it hasn't seen much use here in the UK this year...
This is the attention to detail and care we like to see Jody, measuring the case SIX times… that’s dedication 😉 *edit* the cream and red combination is 🔥🔥🔥 if I hadn’t just blown my collection clear out revenue on my Ventura and incoming Squale, I’d pick one of those up for SURE!!
Huge fan of Farer. Recently purchased their "Resolute II" and have been wearing it over the last month. It has been fantastic and would definitely buy another watch from them!
I like a day/date complication but since the vast majority are autos it’s just one more thing to set b4 I wear the watch… only to have to do it again each time I wear the watch as I don’t have unlimited watch winders! Now on a quartz I’m all on board!!
Great vid Jody. Neat watch. They have been catching my eye for a while now. To your point, while enticing, not sure the price warrants the purchase of a wrist wearing limited design . . . . Time will tell. Reminds me of the ADPT titanium NH34A and the Worn and Wound x Boldr GMTs, both considerably less expensive, and the latter with a Miyota 9075. Maybe I can wear it the other half of the year in the bold red or grey, more appropriate fall/winter like colors? Sure beats another standard black, white or blue dialed diver.
I've been watching Farer for a few years now but I've not seen one yet that does it for me, I'll keep looking. I've got more day/date watches than anything else one of which is a chronometer grade sw220 in titanium and it gets a lot of wrist time.
I was considering one but ended up passing on it because it’s not enough of daily or enough of a tool watch, great video and review that was really well analyzed, I still want a Farer Universal but it’ll have to wait
Really cool watch today and nice Datsun shirt! This watch is on my long time list as I love day date watches especially ones that have alternative colors for different days like this one did or the skx007 does with the weekend dates. Farer really seems to go wild with color and it feels like they hit a real winner with this specific model
Hey Jody, i haven't heard you mention it but you've got a new origin drop coming end of week? The colors are great, I think I'm gonna end up with the new purple one (with matching bezel, yay!). Any hints on pricing or do we just have to wait for the drop?
I like day date watches but only with subtle indices. With indices this bold, the day date window really subtracts from the visual pleasure that this watch has the potential to offer.
I look forward to an Erebus with a day-date complication. At the risk of getting negative comments, I have to say that a quartz movement would be preferred.
Watched "Golden Eye" yesterday and explained the Omega Seamaster quartz on James Bond's wrist to the wife. Quartz is acceptable to me, but not preferred.....if there are both, I'll purchase both. :)
Interesting use of colour for sure & I can see it slotting into your collection. But you have 50+ watches and got this one for $0 (I appreciate that the review takes some time to produce). Would you have spent the retail price to buy it? I'm not so sure . . . .
Middle of Winter here in the southern hemisphere yes, but still a pleasant and sunny 21 degrees here in Southern Queensland;) Love that Farer and love the all brushed Jubilee, but that clasp 👎
Does the underside of the bracelet have a rough/hot spot against the wrist? Also the bezel movement was a bit uninspiring in the one I experienced. How was your model? Thanks!
Hi Jody.. it might be middle of winter in Sydney but you are still sporting a T shirt... it's middle of summer here in Ireland and I've got a bloody jumper on...
Impressive watch with some nice features. It reminded me of a watch by another micro brand, the Seaborne Sea Venture Automatic - Sunset Edition. It is an excellent 40 mill diver with the same colour ray, but for $400. As I live in Glasgow I use it as a daily as there is not call for a summer watch especially this year
Lovely colours. Looks like a few quality control issues if the bezel isn't sitting on centred. I'll have one though, to test it for myself 😂. I think the proportions look a bit better on the BB58, but yeah that's not a cheap watch! No need for day, what a shame.
I’m a Date Only Guy, but I’m honestly ambivalent about a Day/Date. Damn, I need to loosen my tie and get into colorful watches. That’s all I seem to be seeing on UA-cam. Excellent T Shirt BTW. Thanks for the great review!
A car? I thought it was Scottish for,' That sun!' and (an orange circle for the sun like the Aboriginal flag)- which has understandable significance in a cloudy country. Should I change meds?
I have way too many watches already. Last thing I need to discover is there are seasonal watches. Seasonal? I live in San Diego. There's seasons?? What watch goes with beach overcast marine layer?
Interesting that you asked for comments on the Day/Date because yeah, you guessed it, that's what I was gonna comment about. Love it! I mean: if it's not gonna be time-only for simplicity, and it's gonna have a Date window, may as well have the Day also. Very handsome watch. But yeah, a Diver with butterfly clasp = Desk Diver = Poser. Bummer cuz that's otherwise a nice bracelet. Both bands look great. Overall, I like it. Very nice Desk Diver/beach destination tourist wrist candy.
I love Farer's work with color, but at around the $1k mark, it's a little outside my budget for something that isn't meant to be a heavy part of my rotation. Great designs though... maybe someday.
I like the funky colours but prefer Zodiac, though my latest purchase -Yellow dial yellow FKM Luminox has covered the "what am I going to wear this with" gap in my collection
I own the porthleven no.66, and the lander IV 36mm no.65. Absolute killers in my eyes but 100% agree with you in regards to the aquamatic bracelet though, we need micro adjustments man 🙏
The key thing about a day/date is that it totally avoids the where should I put this you always get with just a date window. And the fact it's larger just brute forces that it needs to be there. I like them, too.
Another great review Jodie, thanks. You did say that the markers and handset surrounds are in black, however, according to my eyes and Farer's website the surrounds are Navy Blue. Can you please confirm either way. Sorry, I really don't mean to sound pedantic, it's just my OCD (or whatever!) Keep up the good work 👍.
Perhaps they consider the offset on the 3 o’clock side a crown guard and therefore the true case diameter is about a mil lower than measured to account for that guard?
Are you sure the hands and dial printing are black? On my TV it looks more navy or dark blue. Either way, if it was a 42 or 44mm watch I'd spend the money and pick one up.
You're from Scotland!!!!! The middle of winter in Australia is probably a record breaking July heat wave in Scotland, with Irn Bru rationing due to shortages.
It's definitely got summer vibes! Lovely. Sadly the state of my pockets don't match my ambitions.
That colour scheme is great. Its july, so middle of winter here too in the uk
Ahahhahha! My dad in Yorkshire had the heating on last week 😱
What the heck do you mean?
We hit 32 degrees yesterday down in Wiltshire.. genuinely thought I was going to die haha
😂
Aye, it's grim oop north.
Nice one!
A classic piece, Farer are awesome, consistently regarded as the finest microbrand out there.
By nobody
My favorite is Helm, but this is a nice color scheme!
They are certainly up there, right next to Christopher Ward, which is the king of microbrands.
I love Farer! I have a GMT Lander IV in 36mm. It is a delightful watch.
As a Miami Dolphins fan I can't not love this watch. It looks beautiful!
I actually bought this as a gift for my MD fan friend, ever since I've never seen him without it.
Someone else has made this comment - I hadn't clocked till now. Should have been the Farer Marino.
i knew id see this comment lmao
i was gonna say "dolphins fans hype af right now"
The colorways remind me of a grown-up version of the old TAG-Heuer F-1 plastic watches. This is a watch for Monte Carlo on F1 weekend, the French Riviera and the Almafi Coast.
Best thing about Farer is that you can buy multiple and they look different. Love it.
Cool colors ! As for Day/date, at first seems a worthwhile complication, but in my rotation of my auto/mech watches, its been a year since I could de bothered to set day/date. Better for placement on quartz.
Congrats on finally getting a Farer. That is such a vibrant look - it will be impossible for you to look at it on your wrist and not smile. Own 2 - automatic GMT and a Quartz chrono with a beautiful vintage look. Great value for money.
Not a day complication person - believe it just clutters the dial. But they pulled it off with those colors.
THANK YOU! Ive been looking at getting the Porthleven for a year now but not many have ever reviewed them. Gonna be getting one now
after your last SOTC this is definitely the added color you needed
Farer are just soooo cool! I have my eye on a few of there GADA models - the problem is just deciding.
Love it, orange rubber would be sweet !
That's a very sweet looking watch. My absolute favorite summer dive watch (and my favorite watch I own) is my Squale 60 Atmos with the blue and white on a Staib mesh bracelet.
I love day date complications, definitely a bonus for me, so good on my SKX and 5KX.
Those orange and blue straps look cool especially the blue one.
Great watch! Lovely colours!
I have a selitta 220 my Sinn 105, it has a vertical day date, super nice!
I loooove ❤ the day date complication. This watch is beautiful for sure
Loving this. Love the colors and the way they're presented. Wish it was a little bigger.
I recently bought a Farer myself, and I'm very happy with it! The attention to detail is amazing! But regarding your watch, is the bezel aligned properly? It looked to be slightly off, in a Seiko kind of way. And it's a shame the rubber strap is not colour matched as well in real life as in the photos...
Yes I love a day+date complication. I’m always forgetting both!
So this exact watch has a special place in my heart, I bought one to commemorate my mother's life, she died just a few years ago- she was a very colorful woman whom I greatly miss. The folks at Farer engraved a memorial to her on the back of the watch for me. I will always cherish this watch as a reminder of a wonderful woman who could light up a room with her presence!
Any excuse to buy a watch huh
Your review convinced me finally to pull the trigger and add a Farer to my collection. Since real men wear colorful watches, I also went with the Thurso, aka the Dan Sub-Marino.

Great looking summer watch! Please review more from farer if you can. There's so many different models I like the look of!
Should be a hit with Miami Dolphins fans with that color selection! I love a day/date…wish I saw more of them. And I love the choices you have with all those straps available; wish more brands packaged their watches thus. We need more fun watches in our collections! Cheers!
Got one! Love it! But he’s right, the colors that I love so much limits its use. But when I do wear it! It gets attention.
Haven't seen that Datsun logo since I was a kid! They had such cool cars!
My dad had an old 120Y that he called Slimey cos it was green and slid all over the place 🤣
My Dad had an orange 140J!
That's a great car!
Whahahaha! Slimey eh! My dad had a GX that was more beat than speed. 😅
My step dad had a red one, drove all the way from France to Poland to pick me up and drive me back, that was 1976! Car broke down in Germany (cam belt as I recall, I was 6). He then wrote the car off in Tunisia by landing on the roof after coming off the road...ahhhh memories! Thank Jody 😁

All I can see is the Miami Dolphins. The asymmetrical case might drive me crazy though.
Huge fan of Farer. Recently purchased their "Resolute II" and have been wearing it over the last month. It has been fantastic and would definitely buy another watch from them!
That is the first farer I bought. I love it.
Excellent! What do you think of the clasp though?
Got my eye on the TONNEAU- looks really classy
I do like the day/date complication, you get that on 7750 based chronos and as you mentioned, some other Swiss Watches.
Talk about attention to detail! Love a piece that rewards a closer look, and makes me praise whoever designed it.
I like a day/date complication but since the vast majority are autos it’s just one more thing to set b4 I wear the watch… only to have to do it again each time I wear the watch as I don’t have unlimited watch winders! Now on a quartz I’m all on board!!
So beautiful and funky 🎉I love Farer watches. This piece is awesome. One or two mm larger would be nice though.
Absolutely gorgeous watch
Great vid Jody. Neat watch. They have been catching my eye for a while now. To your point, while enticing, not sure the price warrants the purchase of a wrist wearing limited design . . . . Time will tell. Reminds me of the ADPT titanium NH34A and the Worn and Wound x Boldr GMTs, both considerably less expensive, and the latter with a Miyota 9075. Maybe I can wear it the other half of the year in the bold red or grey, more appropriate fall/winter like colors? Sure beats another standard black, white or blue dialed diver.
Middle of Winter with you😮, well, here it's summer😉 and i like this watch. Thank you for showing👍
I've been watching Farer for a few years now but I've not seen one yet that does it for me, I'll keep looking. I've got more day/date watches than anything else one of which is a chronometer grade sw220 in titanium and it gets a lot of wrist time.
Farer, the Benetton of watches
Interesting comparison.
Can the 38 mm be from the bessel only? Assuming that the case has "integrated crown guards"
Awsome color, but the day date is not for me
I was considering one but ended up passing on it because it’s not enough of daily or enough of a tool watch, great video and review that was really well analyzed, I still want a Farer Universal but it’ll have to wait
I like a day/date. I have 2 - an Orient Ray Raven II automatic and a Lorus Sports Lumibrite quartz. Not a priority but useful.
Really cool watch today and nice Datsun shirt! This watch is on my long time list as I love day date watches especially ones that have alternative colors for different days like this one did or the skx007 does with the weekend dates. Farer really seems to go wild with color and it feels like they hit a real winner with this specific model
I love Farer. They are not finished as well as a Formex or a Monta, but their designs are worth every penny, especially the Resolute.
Hey Jody, i haven't heard you mention it but you've got a new origin drop coming end of week? The colors are great, I think I'm gonna end up with the new purple one (with matching bezel, yay!). Any hints on pricing or do we just have to wait for the drop?
Nice watch Jody
I've a Mondaine Swiss Railway watch which is an Automatic Day / Date in both German and English
Love it! Especially on the rubber.
I like the blue colorway, the jubilee brushed is nice, yup I prefer a adjustble micro adjust clasp instead, not into butterfly clasp.
I like day date watches but only with subtle indices. With indices this bold, the day date window really subtracts from the visual pleasure that this watch has the potential to offer.
I look forward to an Erebus with a day-date complication. At the risk of getting negative comments, I have to say that a quartz movement would be preferred.
Yes I have way more than enough of automatics, I’m a big fan of eco-drives. A solar powered Erebus would be awesome 😎
Day date Erebus would be awesome!
Watched "Golden Eye" yesterday and explained the Omega Seamaster quartz on James Bond's wrist to the wife. Quartz is acceptable to me, but not preferred.....if there are both, I'll purchase both. :)
I love day date watches. I have several such as Seiko Pogue, Jumbo and a Marathon CSAR. I think there should be more of them.
I love your dive watch videos.
I'd never buy a wristwatch that small, though!
Interesting use of colour for sure & I can see it slotting into your collection. But you have 50+ watches and got this one for $0 (I appreciate that the review takes some time to produce). Would you have spent the retail price to buy it? I'm not so sure . . . .
Middle of Winter here in the southern hemisphere yes, but still a pleasant and sunny 21 degrees here in Southern Queensland;) Love that Farer and love the all brushed Jubilee, but that clasp 👎
Gotta give love to the day date!
The colors remind me of the Miami Dolphins football team. And it’s 90* here in Florida.
Great colors 😃, great details 😃great to see a day date 😃 (big fan of day date), not so great price☹️.
Date at 6 o'clock, never find myself not knowing what day it is, but overall prefer cleaner dial without either! Cheers.
Does the underside of the bracelet have a rough/hot spot against the wrist? Also the bezel movement was a bit uninspiring in the one I experienced. How was your model? Thanks!
It looks tiny!! I like Farer! Never pulled the trigger on one, but so many great designs.
Hi Jody.. it might be middle of winter in Sydney but you are still sporting a T shirt... it's middle of summer here in Ireland and I've got a bloody jumper on...
I am into that white chronograph of theirs....
Impressive watch with some nice features. It reminded me of a watch by another micro brand, the Seaborne Sea Venture Automatic - Sunset Edition. It is an excellent 40 mill diver with the same colour ray, but for $400. As I live in Glasgow I use it as a daily as there is not call for a summer watch especially this year
Love it! Excellent rubber strap.
The Farer symbol is reminiscent of Starfleet, but the whole colour scheme could earn it the nickname "the Ahsoka"
Lovely colours. Looks like a few quality control issues if the bezel isn't sitting on centred. I'll have one though, to test it for myself 😂. I think the proportions look a bit better on the BB58, but yeah that's not a cheap watch! No need for day, what a shame.
The t-shirt is on point Jody!
In fact, the t is the star of this review (although the watch isn't bad either).
I’m a Date Only Guy, but I’m honestly ambivalent about a Day/Date. Damn, I need to loosen my tie and get into colorful watches. That’s all I seem to be seeing on UA-cam. Excellent T Shirt BTW. Thanks for the great review!
Great shirt- a Datsun 510 was our family car when I was a kid in the early/mid-80s. Love the colors on the watch, very summery.
A car? I thought it was Scottish for,' That sun!' and (an orange circle for the sun like the Aboriginal flag)- which has understandable significance in a cloudy country. Should I change meds?
@@jaysterling26 nah, you’re good
I've been thinking about trying an oyster bracelet on my new Farer Freshwater.
I have way too many watches already. Last thing I need to discover is there are seasonal watches. Seasonal? I live in San Diego. There's seasons?? What watch goes with beach overcast marine layer?
Winter in Sydney! Oh Jody you're great! Can't say the same for the abysmal watch.🤮
The Datsun t-shirt earned this video a like :D
And thanks for the video, I do like a colourful watch!
The colors are beautiful I'likefarer watches.💯👍
Interesting that you asked for comments on the Day/Date because yeah, you guessed it, that's what I was gonna comment about. Love it! I mean: if it's not gonna be time-only for simplicity, and it's gonna have a Date window, may as well have the Day also.
Very handsome watch. But yeah, a Diver with butterfly clasp = Desk Diver = Poser. Bummer cuz that's otherwise a nice bracelet. Both bands look great.
Overall, I like it. Very nice Desk Diver/beach destination tourist wrist candy.
I love what they did with the seconds hand. More brands need to focus more on that 3rd hand
A lot more colourful than the slacks they do.
I thank you, here all week.
I love Farer's work with color, but at around the $1k mark, it's a little outside my budget for something that isn't meant to be a heavy part of my rotation. Great designs though... maybe someday.
That is really nice, I can't afford one and yes day and date would be nice to see on more watches.
Great review 👍 Been looking at this range for a while and think I like the Thurso best as well.
I like the funky colours but prefer Zodiac, though my latest purchase -Yellow dial yellow FKM Luminox has covered the "what am I going to wear this with" gap in my collection
Hamilton, Rolex, Seiko……..all offered with Day/Date. It’s what I love about a 7750. Fine vid Jody!
I own the porthleven no.66, and the lander IV 36mm no.65. Absolute killers in my eyes but 100% agree with you in regards to the aquamatic bracelet though, we need micro adjustments man 🙏
My first auto was an entry level Seiko day date. I underappreciated that watch through not using it properly.
The key thing about a day/date is that it totally avoids the where should I put this you always get with just a date window. And the fact it's larger just brute forces that it needs to be there. I like them, too.
Another great review Jodie, thanks.
You did say that the markers and handset surrounds are in black, however, according to my eyes and Farer's website the surrounds are Navy Blue. Can you please confirm either way.
Sorry, I really don't mean to sound pedantic, it's just my OCD (or whatever!)
Keep up the good work 👍.
Perhaps they consider the offset on the 3 o’clock side a crown guard and therefore the true case diameter is about a mil lower than measured to account for that guard?
Jody, I prefer the Origin!
Are you sure the hands and dial printing are black? On my TV it looks more navy or dark blue. Either way, if it was a 42 or 44mm watch I'd spend the money and pick one up.
You're from Scotland!!!!! The middle of winter in Australia is probably a record breaking July heat wave in Scotland, with Irn Bru rationing due to shortages.
Just impressed that a Scot has heard of Bognor Regis. No wonder you emigrated.
👍 to the day date! 🏴
I don't mind pink t shirt but with Datsun i think white is more appropriate.
Very attractive styling.
Wahoo .... what a T-shirt 👌👍 Datsun nut here, nice one Jody. Those watches are cool too.
Jody, I have to say that is probably the best looking watch you have ever had on your channel. Fantastic design, sadly a bit out of my price range 😞
