    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!

    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

    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.

If the video itself is well produced and interesting, then we can all forgive a little accommodation to the algorithmic gods in Mountain View.
