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 Tangomat ruthenium

Owners widely praise the NOMOS Glashütte Tangomat ruthenium for its Glashütte watchmaking and Bauhaus design, with one owner noting accuracy at +2 seconds/day and a 43-hour power reserve. Some owners find the Tangomat thicker than other models, with case proportions that may not suit its sharp design, and one owner expressed a preference for newer movements over the older Epsilon automatic. Overall, owners value the NOMOS Glashütte Tangomat ruthenium for its precise timekeeping and design ethos.

Yema Flygraf Bi-Compax French Air Force

Owners widely praise the Yema Flygraf Bi-Compax French Air Force for its attractive, toolish aesthetic and excellent quality for the price, noting the legible Type A dial and 40mm titanium case. However, the acrylic crystal scratches easily, and the titanium case is prone to marking. The mecha-quartz movement's chrono timer sweeps rather than ticks, and one owner questions the purpose of the oversized crown. The in-house Yema 2000 movement is accurate at +/- 10 seconds per day but has a 42-hour power reserve, and some owners express concerns regarding Yema's past quality control and customer service. On balance, owners rate the Yema Flygraf Bi-Compax French Air Force highly for its attractive design and value, despite concerns about material durability and brand service history.
