I’d been on the hunt for a proper quality timepiece for a while and finally pulled the trigger on the Discovery Olive from Farer. Safe to say, I’m stoked with the decision.
Delivery was a breeze to Australia, it was quick and hassle-free, which is always a good start. I went for the custom engraving and it turned out brilliantly. Adds a nice personal touch without being over the top.
The watch itself? Bloody impressive. The olive dial is unique without screaming for attention — just the right mix of character and class. The leather strap is thick and clearly well-made. It was a bit stiff out of the box but like a good pair of boots, it’s starting to mould to the wrist nicely.
Farer’s attention to detail really shows. It feels like a watch that’ll be on my wrist for years to come as it's solid, reliable and stylish.
Overall, this is a well-crafted timepiece with a lot of character. It looks like something that’s built to last and only gets better with wear. If you’re on the fence about investing in a Farer, I’d say it’s worth the leap.
