What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Farer THREE HAND SERIES III

Owners widely praise the Farer THREE HAND SERIES III for its attractive dial colors, particularly the salmon and red variants, and its well-proportioned 36mm case. The watch features a textured dial, screw-down crown, and 100m water resistance, powered by a La Joux-Perret G101 movement offering a 68-hour power reserve. Some owners find the designs generic compared to previous releases. Reviewers note the minute hashes can be difficult to read in certain lights, and the included strap is considered too thick and stiff. Overall, owners rate the Farer THREE HAND SERIES III highly for its vibrant dials and well-proportioned case.

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.
