NOMOS Glashütte Metro date power reservevsYema Navygraf Marine Nationale Quartz

Owners widely praise the NOMOS Glashütte Metro date power reserve for its unique, award-winning design and in-house craftsmanship, with one owner stating they "can't stop looking at it" and find it versatile enough to wear with "basically everything." The watch is noted for its thin case, with dimensions of 37mm case, 7.7mm thickness, and a 43.6mm lug-to-lug distance, and houses the in-house DUW 4401 movement featuring a virtually entirely in-house escapement. Some reviewers and owners find the dial appears duller silver in person than in photos, and the lack of a quick-set date can be a chore for daily wear. One reviewer noted the minute and hour hands are too close in length, and a strap was too small for their wrist. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the NOMOS Glashütte Metro date power reserve highly for its distinctive, playful design and impressive in-house movement at its price point.

Owners praise the Yema Navygraf Marine Nationale Quartz for its well-made case, clean legible dial, and comfortable 39mm size, with one noting its thin profile for 300m water resistance. Accuracy figures vary, with one owner reporting +6 seconds per day and another seeing it keep within COSC time. Minor criticisms include a steel bracelet with a slight rattle and sharp edges, bent bracelet pins, and in one instance, crooked dial printing. On balance, owners find the Yema Navygraf Marine Nationale Quartz offers good value and wearability, with its French design and thinner case being key highlights.
