What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Astor + Banks Chrono

Owners widely praise the Astor + Banks Chrono for its sporty design, wrist-friendly 38.5mm size, and enthusiast-friendly price starting at $525. One reviewer notes the date numeral is consistently half in shadow due to deep-set placement. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Astor + Banks Chrono highly for its design and value at the price point.

NOMOS Glashütte Lux Hermelin

The NOMOS Glashütte Lux Hermelin is a time-only watch in a tonneau-shaped white gold case, measuring 40.5mm by 36mm by 8.95mm, featuring a manually-wound DUW 2002 movement with an 84-hour power reserve and gold chatons. Owners question its value proposition and movement finishing compared to established high-end brands, despite its readable power reserve. Overall, owners and reviewers find the NOMOS Glashütte Lux Hermelin to be a beautiful debut model, though some question its high price point.
