I decided to get the new Aquamatic Biarritz, which seems to be quite interesting. The combination of the colours used on the Biarritz (& the other Aquamatics) is one of the reasons I decided to get one. I have a soft spot for divers watches.
The Biarritz doesn't disappoint. The watch quality is pretty good, overall. Not perfect, but good. The size (& short L2L measurement) is perfect for my 6.5" wrist. It comes with three strap options, but I ended up pairing the watch with a black Hirsch Pure (rubber) strap. I think a black rubber strap would pair nicely with the Biarritz. I would've preferred if the metal bracelet had a standard clasp (not a butterfly clasp). The watch WR rating is 200 m, but it doesn't seem to have a screwdown caseback. Instead, the caseback is secured via four screws. I am glad the watch doesn't have a transparent caseback. I always prefer watches with solid caseback, but the very fine wave pattern on the Biarritz's caseback seems to be a dirt magnet.
Not sure if I would call this a true dive watch: It has a good WR rating, but I can't see it as a serious divers watch like Seiko, Doxa, etc. Nonetheless, it is a good-looking (divers style) watch. The dial, hands, markers, and case are very well-proportioned. Legibility is excellent under most conditions.
The Biarritz is my first Farer. I might get another Farer, but the majority of the Farer watches seem to come with transparent caseback. Not many of Farer watches come with solid caseback.
Accuracy is good. Mine runs a bit late, perhaps 3-4 seconds behind per day.
Overall, the Biarritz is a good value, and would be happy to recommend it to anyone looking for a colourful watch.
