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 Tangente 2date blue

The NOMOS Glashütte Tangente 2date blue is celebrated for its impressive craftsmanship, thin 6.8mm case, and the visually appealing DUW 4601 movement with refreshing decoration. Reviewers and owners alike praise its sunburst blue dial and the unique, well-executed peripheral double date complication, with some finding it useful for travel. However, the dual-date display is criticized by some enthusiasts as redundant and contrary to Bauhaus principles, and legibility can be challenging in dim light due to thin silver hands and a lack of lume. The watch features a 37.5mm diameter, a 52-hour power reserve, and 50-meter water resistance. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the NOMOS Glashütte Tangente 2date blue highly for its distinctive design and excellent value, despite some debate over the practicality of its double date feature.

VARIO x RZE UltraHex Titanium Trench

Overall, owners and reviewers rate the VARIO x RZE UltraHex Titanium Trench highly for its unique dial and value at the price.
