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 38 date

Owners widely praise the NOMOS Glashütte Tangente for its thinness, comfortable 38mm size, and simple Bauhaus-inspired design, noting its versatility and the quality of its German in-house manual-wind Alpha movement. However, some owners report significant accuracy issues, with one experiencing a gain of 60 seconds per day, and the hard-edged case is noted to be prone to scratches. The watch is also said to wear larger than its case size. On balance, owners rate the NOMOS Glashütte Tangente highly for its elegant design and slim wearability, despite some concerns about accuracy and case durability.

Cincinnati Watch Company Union Terminal Mechanical

Owners praise the Cincinnati Watch Company Union Terminal Mechanical for its striking design and historical significance, particularly for Cincinnati natives. One owner highlights its suitability as a dress watch, finding it wears well on a leather strap. The watch is noted for its colors and design inspired by the Union Terminal clock, with a portion of sales supporting the landmark. At just over $350, it is considered a good value despite not featuring a high-end movement, strap, or crystal. Overall, owners rate the Cincinnati Watch Company Union Terminal Mechanical highly for its unique design and local historical connection at an accessible price point.
