What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

NOMOS Glashütte Metro 33 all silver

The NOMOS Glashütte Metro 33 all silver is praised for its beautiful, sub-8mm thin case and three-hand movement with power reserve and date complications. However, its dial can appear darker than in photographs, and the lack of a quick-set date is noted as an inconvenience for frequent watch rotation. Some find the hour and minute hands too similar for easy time-reading, particularly in low light due to the absence of lume. Overall, owners appreciate the Metro 33 all silver for its elegant design and slim profile, despite minor legibility concerns.

Vario 1918 Trench Brass

Owners widely praise the Vario 1918 Trench Brass for its attractive, precisely made dial and case, with the evolving brass patina noted as a positive feature. The bund strap is considered comfortable and well-fitting by some, though others find it stiff and short for larger wrists. The lume is considered poor. The Miyota 82s5 movement is described as adequate, with accuracy ranging from about -10 seconds per day to simply running slow. On balance, owners rate the Vario 1918 Trench Brass highly for its fantastic looks and the unique character of its brass case.
