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 II

The Farer Discovery II is widely praised for its comfortable 39.5mm wearability, suiting all wrist sizes and occasions, and its bold plum sunburst dial, which exhibits varied color interpretations. Owners also highlight the excellent case and bracelet design, with one noting it is a "dream to wear." The La Joux Perret G101 automatic movement provides a 68-hour power reserve. On balance, owners rate the Farer Discovery II highly for its comfortable wearability and attractive dial at the 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.
