What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Lorier Hyperion SII

Owners widely praise the Lorier Hyperion SII for its vintage aesthetic, glossy black dial, and tasteful text. One owner notes the Miyota 9075 movement and calls it the best GMT under $800. Criticisms include a small GMT hand that is difficult to spot, and one user found the winding action not smooth with significant crown resistance. Overall, owners rate the Lorier Hyperion SII highly for its vintage aesthetic and value.

From video reviewers

The GMT functionality is a key strength. The Miyota 9075 movement's 42-hour power reserve is a drawback. Reviewers disagreed on the value proposition at the price point.

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.
