What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Farer Discovery Olive

Owners widely praise the Farer Discovery Olive for its unusual dial color, crisp indices and hands, and versatile wearability, with one owner noting its fit and finishing punches above its price point. The optional bracelet design is praised, though one owner observes it does not sit flush with the case. Accuracy is reported at +8 seconds per day. On balance, owners rate the Farer Discovery Olive highly for its surprising quality and distinctive aesthetic at its price.

NOMOS Glashütte Tangente 38 date

Owners widely praise the NOMOS Glashütte Tangente for its thinness, comfortable 38mm size, and simple Bauhaus-inspired design, noting its versatility and the quality of its German in-house manual-wind Alpha movement. However, some owners report significant accuracy issues, with one experiencing a gain of 60 seconds per day, and the hard-edged case is noted to be prone to scratches. The watch is also said to wear larger than its case size. On balance, owners rate the NOMOS Glashütte Tangente highly for its elegant design and slim wearability, despite some concerns about accuracy and case durability.
