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 neomatik 39 blue gold

The NOMOS Glashütte Tangente is widely praised for its Bauhaus aesthetic, clean, minimalistic, and timeless design, and the beauty of its in-house DUW 3001 movement. Owners note the rhodium-plated accents as a positive design element. One owner found the original strap stiff, while another reported the 39mm model's clasp chafes the strap. Both sources mention the lack of lume. Overall, owners rate the NOMOS Glashütte Tangente highly for its timeless design and attractive in-house movement.

Vario Futurist

The Vario Futurist is widely praised for its fun, retro-futuristic design and unique faceted sapphire crystal, offering significant visual intrigue at an affordable price. Owners note its ability to catch the light beautifully. One reviewer flags that the recessed crown can be difficult to operate, and the 39mm case offers more wrist presence than expected.

From video reviewers

The faceted sapphire crystal and distinctive case finishing are praised. The crown placement and sharp case edges are noted as drawbacks. Reviewers disagreed on the watch's overall value proposition.
