Some owners consider the CWC 1987 SBS Quartz Diver Re-Issue Watch overpriced, while others appreciate its bombproof, toolish design and military heritage.

NOMOS Glashütte Tangente 33

NOMOS Glashütte Tangente is widely praised for its classic Bauhaus-inspired design and elegant wearability, with owners noting its polished case reflections and compact dimensions, such as the 33mm and 35mm variants, fitting well on smaller wrists. The Alpha hand-wound movement is recognized for remarkable accuracy, with one owner reporting it off only a couple of seconds a week, and a 44.5-hour power reserve. The watch's versatility and "loveable cutey" design are highlighted, and new platinum gray dials offer a convincing appearance. Some owners find the velour strap delicate and prefer alternatives, and the 30m water resistance limits its use in wet environments. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the NOMOS Glashütte Tangente highly for its enduring, minimalistic design and impressive accuracy at its price point.
