Astor + Banks Fortitude ProvsNOMOS Glashütte Tangente gold neomatik

Owners and reviewers widely praise the Astor + Banks Fortitude Pro for its scratch-resistant coating, thin and compact 38.5mm case, and versatile dial options. The layered finishing with polished chamfers and comfortable bracelet are frequently highlighted as strong points, contributing to its wearability. One owner notes good timekeeping, while a reviewer states the Miyota 9015 movement is adjusted to +/-10 seconds per day. A potential drawback mentioned is the date numeral appearing in half shadow due to anti-magnetic shielding, and one owner considers the bracelet clasp dated. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Astor + Banks Fortitude Pro highly for its durable construction and thoughtful design at its price point.

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.
