What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Oris Big Crown Pointer Date Calibre 403

The Oris Big Crown Pointer Date Calibre 403 is praised for its 120-hour power reserve and anti-magnetic properties, with reviewers noting its simplified design and vibrant blue dial. Owners highlight the smooth winding feel of the in-house Calibre 403 movement, which features twin barrels. However, some owners report minor time-setting issues, and the 50-meter water resistance is considered underwhelming by one reviewer, who also notes the deer leather strap's clasp scratches easily. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Oris Big Crown Pointer Date Calibre 403 highly for its impressive power reserve and value proposition.

From video reviewers

The 5-day power reserve of the new in-house Calibre 403 movement is a key strength. Reviewers noted the comfortable H-link bracelet and vibrant dial color options.

NOMOS Glashütte Tangente gold neomatik 38 Update

Owners widely praise the NOMOS Glashütte Tangente for its beautifully simple, minimalist design, thin and light wearability, and value. The 38mm case size is frequently cited as perfect and wearable, with one owner noting its under-the-radar versatility. The German in-house manual-winding Alpha movement is a specific point of appreciation. However, one owner reported significant accuracy issues, with the watch losing up to 60 seconds a day, and another noted the hard-edged case is prone to scratches. Some owners also find the lugs wear larger than the case size. On balance, the consensus is that owners highly value the NOMOS Glashütte Tangente for its minimalist design and wearability at its price point.
