What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

KUOE ROYAL SMITH 90-006

Owners widely praise the KUOE ROYAL SMITH 90-006 for its visual appeal and sapphire crystal with AR coating. The watch functions correctly and keeps time at approximately +5 seconds per day on the wrist, powered by a Miyota 9039 movement. On balance, owners value the watch's aesthetics and specifications, though some question its overall value proposition.

From video reviewers

The watch's unique blend of modern and retro elements is a notable strength, with a textured ivory waffle dial and Breguet numerals giving it the look of a vintage watch from the 1950s and 1960s. A potential drawback is the ~$770 USD price point, which is significant for a microbrand. Reviewers disagree on the movement's accuracy, with one reviewer noting it is noisy and another describing it as a "Japanese-manufactured high beat premium automatic movement".

NOMOS Glashütte Tangente neomatik 41 Update midnight blue

Owners and reviewers widely praise the NOMOS Glashütte Tangente neomatik 41 Update midnight blue for its slim profile, Bauhaus-inspired design, and the unique midnight blue dial with a playful fluorescent green date indicator. The watch is noted for its classy appearance at an affordable price point, with its retrograde date display considered the best in its price range by one owner. The in-house DUW 6101 movement features extensive Glashütte decoration, exceeding standards for its $4,100 price. One user found the varying width of letters in the logo to be bothersome, and the intuitiveness of the date display is questioned. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the NOMOS Glashütte Tangente neomatik 41 Update midnight blue highly for its creative design and excellent value.
