NOMOS Glashütte Metro 38vsStudio Underd0g The Mimosa

Owners and reviewers widely praise the NOMOS Glashütte Metro 38 Datum for its high-quality polished stainless steel case, flawless matte/metallic silver-plated dial with a sloping design, and Bauhaus-inspired minimalist aesthetic. The in-house DUW 4101 movement with the Swing-System escapement is also a highlight. Legibility is a point of mixed opinion, with some finding the thin silver hands on the grey dial difficult to read in certain light, while others report no issues. Some owners note a slight convexity on the front window's edge, and a few find the hand length and dial's shininess distracting. Accuracy is reported as +2 sec/day by one owner. The $3.5k price point is seen by some as a turn-off, while others consider it reflective of the watch's value and craftsmanship. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the NOMOS Glashütte Metro 38 Datum highly for its distinctive design and in-house finishing at its price point.

Studio Underd0g The Mimosa is praised for its playful, layered dial design evoking a cocktail, its comfortable 38mm cushion case, and the tactile experience of its manual-wind Sellita SW210-1 movement. Reviewers appreciate the fun collaboration and the easter egg of the textured dial, finding it fitting for the watch's playful nature, and one owner notes its 10atm water resistance rating was proven by surviving a swim. Owners and reviewers consider its $1,300 price steep for the Sellita SW210-1 movement, with some wishing for more competitive pricing or questioning if it offers the best value. Overall, owners and reviewers rate Studio Underd0g The Mimosa highly for its unique, playful dial design and comfortable wearability.
