What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Maen Manhattan 40

Owners appreciate the Maen Manhattan 40's thin case and unique dial, with some finding its proportions too large for smaller wrists. One owner noted a snagging crown and difficult winding action. Accuracy figures vary, with one owner reporting +18s/d to +24s/d on the 37mm version, while another owner of the 40mm model did not specify accuracy. On balance, owners and reviewers find the Maen Manhattan 40 to be a good value, with its thinness and dial finishing being key strengths.

NOMOS Glashütte Tangente 33 karat

Owners widely praise the NOMOS Glashütte Tangente's vintage, preppy aesthetic, with the 33mm version's smaller size making its polished case reflections less showy and more eye-catching. The power reserve on this model is 44.5 hours. Owners are split on sizing, with some finding the 33mm not much smaller than the 35mm, while others note that the long lugs can make even smaller models wear larger, potentially posing an issue for wrists around 6 inches.
