What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Farer Discovery II

The Farer Discovery II is widely praised for its comfortable 39.5mm wearability, suiting all wrist sizes and occasions, and its bold plum sunburst dial, which exhibits varied color interpretations. Owners also highlight the excellent case and bracelet design, with one noting it is a "dream to wear." The La Joux Perret G101 automatic movement provides a 68-hour power reserve. On balance, owners rate the Farer Discovery II highly for its comfortable wearability and attractive dial at the price.

NOMOS Glashütte Tangente 2date blue

The NOMOS Glashütte Tangente 2date blue is celebrated for its impressive craftsmanship, thin 6.8mm case, and the visually appealing DUW 4601 movement with refreshing decoration. Reviewers and owners alike praise its sunburst blue dial and the unique, well-executed peripheral double date complication, with some finding it useful for travel. However, the dual-date display is criticized by some enthusiasts as redundant and contrary to Bauhaus principles, and legibility can be challenging in dim light due to thin silver hands and a lack of lume. The watch features a 37.5mm diameter, a 52-hour power reserve, and 50-meter water resistance. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the NOMOS Glashütte Tangente 2date blue highly for its distinctive design and excellent value, despite some debate over the practicality of its double date feature.
