What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Fears Arnos (Blue)

The Fears Arnos (Blue) is lauded for its striking blue galvanic dial with a hobnail surround and Roman numerals, housed in a vintage-inspired 33.5mm rectangular stainless steel case measuring 8.4mm in thickness. Reviewers note the convenience of its automatic Sellita SW1000-1b movement, which offers a 46-hour power reserve. On balance, reviewers praise the Fears Arnos (Blue) for its distinctive dial and slim, wearable case.

NOMOS Glashütte Tangente 38 date

Owners widely praise the NOMOS Glashütte Tangente for its thinness, comfortable 38mm size, and simple Bauhaus-inspired design, noting its versatility and the quality of its German in-house manual-wind Alpha movement. However, some owners report significant accuracy issues, with one experiencing a gain of 60 seconds per day, and the hard-edged case is noted to be prone to scratches. The watch is also said to wear larger than its case size. On balance, owners rate the NOMOS Glashütte Tangente highly for its elegant design and slim wearability, despite some concerns about accuracy and case durability.
