What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Straton Curve Chrono MKII

The watch offers a retro motorsport aesthetic with a quality finish and well-chosen movements at an affordable price. Reviewers did not agree on any specific weaknesses.

NOMOS Glashütte Zürich

NOMOS Glashütte Zürich is widely praised for its immaculate dial design and top-notch case finishing, with reviewers highlighting the beautifully finished in-house movement. Owners and reviewers alike commend its dual-timezone complication and satisfying time zone advancement. The 39.9mm or 40mm case offers comfortable wearability with a balanced presence. Some find the small hour markers outside the city ring slightly difficult to read at a glance, and the long lugs can be polarizing. The watch functions as a GMT or travel time piece, displaying two time zones simultaneously rather than 24. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the NOMOS Glashütte Zürich highly for its stunning dial and excellent movement finishing at its price point.
