What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

CWC 1983 RN Divers Quartz Re-Issue Watch

Owners widely praise the CWC 1983 RN Divers Quartz Re-Issue Watch for its historically accurate reproduction, thin profile for a 300m diver, and a second hand that aligns well with indices. Reviewers note its reasonable size on smaller wrists, original dial layout with markers touching the chapter ring, and a broader minute hand. However, criticism is directed at the fixed 20mm bars necessitating specific strap types and the mismatched lume colors between hands and hour markers, with some finding the convex lume on the markers overly shiny. Overall, owners rate the CWC 1983 RN Divers Quartz Re-Issue Watch highly for its accurate vintage aesthetic and wearability.

NOMOS Glashütte Tangente 38 date

Owners widely praise the NOMOS Glashütte Tangente for its thinness, comfortable 38mm size, and simple Bauhaus-inspired design, noting its versatility and the quality of its German in-house manual-wind Alpha movement. However, some owners report significant accuracy issues, with one experiencing a gain of 60 seconds per day, and the hard-edged case is noted to be prone to scratches. The watch is also said to wear larger than its case size. On balance, owners rate the NOMOS Glashütte Tangente highly for its elegant design and slim wearability, despite some concerns about accuracy and case durability.
