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 neomatik

The NOMOS Glashütte Tangente gold neomatik is lauded for its classic Bauhaus design and thin case, with the 35mm variant measuring a mere 6.9mm. Reviewers highlight the subtle contrast provided by gold hands and printing against black numerals on the dial. The neomatik 38 Update offers a more wearable 38.5mm execution of the ring date complication, featuring the in-house DUW 6101 caliber with a 42-hour power reserve, and the gold variants are priced at $16,100. While the Tangente Neomatik 41 Update's date mechanism is creative, its intuitiveness is questioned, and the 40.5mm size is noted as comfortable. The 35mm gold neomatik is considered a mild, rather than groundbreaking, addition. On balance, reviewers praise the NOMOS Glashütte Tangente gold neomatik for its elegant, thin design and refined aesthetic, particularly appreciating the wearability of its various sizes.

Zelos Swordfish 3

Owners widely praise the Zelos Swordfish 3 for its strong value, with reviewers highlighting the textured sandwich dial, Seiko NH35 movement, 200m water resistance, and surprisingly good bracelet. The titanium construction is noted for making the watch compact and comfortable, weighing 117g. Some owners find the dimensions fine on paper and based on experience with other models. One reviewer flagged that legibility can suffer in bright light and bracelet edges are sharp. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Zelos Swordfish 3 highly for its incredible value and fun design, particularly with unique dial options.
