What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Astor + Banks Fortitude Lite

The Astor + Banks Fortitude Lite is praised for its reduced 10.9mm thickness and redesigned lugs that turn down, along with the removal of the date complication. One owner finds the white dial Fortitude Lite a good watch but not worth $650, suggesting better value from other brands, while another simply states it looks better than a specific alternative. Overall, owners praise the Astor + Banks Fortitude Lite for its wearability due to its thinner case and redesigned lugs.

Sternglas Naos XL Automatik

Owners widely praise the Sternglas Naos XL Automatik as an amazing and best affordable automatic Bauhaus watch for its price. However, some owners find the 42mm case size too large, with one describing it as resembling a "flying saucer" on a 7.25-inch wrist, and another noting its unsuitability for a predominantly white dial. The Miyota movement is described as just okay. Overall, owners rate the Sternglas Naos XL Automatik highly for its value proposition as an affordable Bauhaus automatic.
