Seiko's third-party supply version of the 4R35, sold to external watch brands and modders worldwide. Adds hacking and hand-winding over the 7S26 it effectively replaced. The NH35 has become the default automatic movement for watch modding and microbrand watches, thanks to its low cost, reliability, and wide availability of compatible parts including dials, hands, and cases in the Seiko-compatible format.

The community take
Humism is widely praised as a fun, kinetic art watch with a mesmerizing and unique dial design that serves as a great conversation starter. Owners appreciate the value proposition, with many finding the ~$300-350 price fair for the automatic NH35 movement, sapphire crystal, and 316 steel construction, suggesting the build quality justifies the cost beyond just the movement. The artistic rotating-disk time display, with a full dot for hours and an empty dot for minutes, is frequently described as hypnotic. However, the unconventional dial makes telling time at a glance impractical for daily wear, and some find the legibility questionable. The stock leather strap is noted to run small, with a recommendation to swap for a metal mesh bracelet. One owner wishes the NH35 movement were smoother, but acknowledges that improvement would significantly increase the cost. Overall, owners rate Humism highly for its unique artistic design and strong value at the price point.
