What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

NOMOS Glashütte Metro 38

Owners and reviewers widely praise the NOMOS Glashütte Metro 38 Datum for its high-quality polished stainless steel case, flawless matte/metallic silver-plated dial with a sloping design, and Bauhaus-inspired minimalist aesthetic. The in-house DUW 4101 movement with the Swing-System escapement is also a highlight. Legibility is a point of mixed opinion, with some finding the thin silver hands on the grey dial difficult to read in certain light, while others report no issues. Some owners note a slight convexity on the front window's edge, and a few find the hand length and dial's shininess distracting. Accuracy is reported as +2 sec/day by one owner. The $3.5k price point is seen by some as a turn-off, while others consider it reflective of the watch's value and craftsmanship. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the NOMOS Glashütte Metro 38 Datum highly for its distinctive design and in-house finishing at its price point.

From video reviewers

The NOMOS Glashütte Metro 38's beautiful polishings are a unique aspect of Glashütte watchmaking. The watch's water resistance of 3 atm is a limitation for those who plan to wear it in wet conditions.
