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 gold 33 doré

The NOMOS Glashütte Tangente gold 33 doré is praised for its classic Bauhaus design and exceptionally thin 6.9mm case. Owners widely describe the watch as "incredible" and "lovely." However, some find the gold accents subtle, and one owner noted they would not purchase it for $13k, citing other watches that offer more functionality for the price. On balance, owners and reviewers appreciate the NOMOS Glashütte Tangente gold 33 doré for its elegant, thin design, though its value proposition at its price point is debated.

Vaer DS2 Meridian Quartz

The Vaer DS2 Meridian Quartz is lauded for its wearability, with reviewers and owners consistently praising its 39mm case size as a perfect fit, noting its thinness at 10.4mm. The watch features a satisfying 120-click coin-edge bezel with minimal back play and comes with two straps for $239, powered by a Miyota GM12 quartz movement offering a three-year battery life. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Vaer DS2 Meridian Quartz highly for its comfortable wearability and accessible price point.
