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 rose gold neomatik 39

The NOMOS Glashütte Metro rose gold neomatik 39 is widely praised for its clean Bauhaus dial, unique date indicator, and versatile wearability that transitions between casual and formal settings. Reviewers highlight the exceptionally thin in-house DUW 3001 automatic movement, developed to chronometer standards. Owners note the 35mm case size may be divisive for some men, and the champagne/neon orange dial colorway might not appeal to everyone. Some find the hour and minute hands too similar, making time-reading difficult, and the lack of lume is also noted. One owner regrets the absence of a metal bracelet option. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the NOMOS Glashütte Metro rose gold neomatik 39 highly for its distinctive German design and slim, versatile profile.

CWC SBS 1987 Aged Special

Owners widely praise the CWC SBS 1987 Aged Special for its rugged build and military heritage, with some finding its quality comparable to higher-end watches. A reviewer notes the 41mm PVD-coated watch features a bright SuperLuminova dial. One owner reports a bit of play in the 60-click bezel, present from new, alongside minor wear on the PVD coating and bezel insert. On balance, owners rate the CWC SBS 1987 Aged Special highly for its rugged build and military heritage, despite some questioning its value at £700.
