Linde Werdelin 3 TimervsSternglas Naos Automatik

The Linde Werdelin 3 Timer is widely appreciated for its versatile GMT function, allowing for tracking three time zones, and its unique Biformeter case design with attractive finishing. Reviewers highlight the dial's concentric circle pattern and the ease of adjusting the GMT hand in one-hour increments via the bi-directional bezel, noting the ETA 2893-A2 movement's smooth winding. Owners and reviewers acknowledge the watch's aggressive design and utility, including 300m water resistance and easy strap changes, though some find the 44mm case chunky. The price, ranging from $5,700-$6,300, is considered high by some, particularly given the non-COSC certified ETA movement, and concerns about resale value and dated aesthetics are raised by one owner.

The Sternglas Naos Automatik is praised for its stylish Bauhaus design and solid build quality for its price, featuring a sapphire crystal and elegant case. However, some dial text is too small and slim for easy readability, and the Milanese strap and clasp are considered lower quality, with the quick-change system also not meeting the brand's advertised standard. One owner found the 38mm model lighter than expected and preferred it over a Seiko SRP703 and an Apple Watch. Overall, owners and reviewers highlight the Sternglas Naos Automatik's attractive Bauhaus design and good value, despite some criticisms of dial legibility and strap quality.
