Farer LISSOMvsNOMOS Glashütte Minimatik 39 date blue

Farer Lissom owners and reviewers widely praise its slim 7.95mm case and elegant 38mm dimensions, noting its well-balanced proportions and comfortable wearability. The vibrant and colorful dial designs, intricate details like grained textures and sunken sub-dials, and lume-filled dauphine hands are frequently highlighted as strengths. The manual-wind La Joux-Perret D100 movement is mentioned, with a claimed accuracy of +/- 15 seconds and a 50-hour power reserve, though one owner reported a movement failure after overwinding, which was resolved with excellent customer service. Some owners find the blue numerals and hands appear nearly black unless catching the light, and opinions are split on the 38mm size, with some finding it ideal and others a bit small for their wrist. The 42.8mm lug-to-lug measurement is noted as potentially appearing odd on larger wrists. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Farer Lissom highly for its striking design and slim, wearable case at its price point.

The NOMOS Glashütte Minimatik 39 date blue is praised for its playful yet sophisticated dial with turquoise and gold minute markers that shift appearance with light, and its short, tucked-in lugs contribute to a less bulky wear. Owners appreciate its contemporary design and suitability for both office and casual settings. Some owners wish the Minimatik were 1-2mm larger, and its price is noted as high, with some difficulty in finding it in shops. Overall, owners rate the NOMOS Glashütte Minimatik 39 date blue highly for its unique dial and comfortable, less bulky wear.
