What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Phoibos Apollo Dlc

The Phoibos Apollo Dlc is lauded for its lightweight, scratch-resistant titanium case and unique granular black dial texture. Owners praise its comfortable 41mm x 48mm x 12.5mm dimensions and exceptional lume performance. However, the rocket-shaped hands are noted as making time-telling difficult in low light, and the non-tapering bracelet is a drawback for some. Some users question its value proposition, with one noting that a tourbillon can be found at the same price point as an NH35-powered Phoibos. Overall, owners appreciate the Phoibos Apollo Dlc for its distinctive design and comfortable titanium build, despite some functional and value concerns.

NOMOS Glashütte Tangente 38 midnight blue

NOMOS Glashütte Tangente is widely praised for its simple Bauhaus design, thin and light wearability, and German in-house manual-winding Alpha movement. Owners note the galvanized white silver-plated dial and tempered blue steel hands contribute to its appeal. The 37.5mm case is reported to wear larger than its dimensions, while some find the 35mm size perfect, others feel it lacks immediate appeal and appears "puny" compared to larger watches, though its details are appreciated up close. Overall, owners rate the NOMOS Glashütte Tangente highly for its understated Bauhaus design and comfortable wearability.
