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 Tangente gold 33 doré

The NOMOS Glashütte Tangente gold 33 doré is praised for its classic Bauhaus design and exceptionally thin 6.9mm case. Owners widely describe the watch as "incredible" and "lovely." However, some find the gold accents subtle, and one owner noted they would not purchase it for $13k, citing other watches that offer more functionality for the price. On balance, owners and reviewers appreciate the NOMOS Glashütte Tangente gold 33 doré for its elegant, thin design, though its value proposition at its price point is debated.

Vaer D5 Pacific Anacapa Auto

The Vaer D5 Pacific Anacapa Auto is widely praised for its 39mm case size and refined yet rugged case design, with owners noting it wears well and fits perfectly. Reviewers and owners alike highlight the colorful, multi-layer dial, with one specifically appreciating the matte green dial's accenting of other colors. The watch's American assembly is also a point of praise. One owner found the fit superior to a previous Seiko "Baby Hulk." A reviewer noted the bezel numerals lack lume, and the date wheel's three-orange-one-green pattern is described as peculiar. One owner also felt the minute markers seemed oddly placed. The Vaer D5 Pacific Anacapa Auto uses a Miyota 9015 automatic movement with a 42-hour power reserve and offers 200m water resistance. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Vaer D5 Pacific Anacapa Auto highly for its wearability and dial design at the price point.
