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 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.
