What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Sternglas Berlin Automatik

Owners widely praise the Sternglas Berlin Automatik for its handsome, clean dial and a 38mm size that fits smaller wrists well, making it a comfortable daily wearer. The case is described as solid and well-finished. However, the Miyota 8205 movement is noted as reliable but noticeably loud, and the exhibition caseback is unadorned. Some owners find the watch too simple and question the value, citing basic movement and strap choices for the price, with a few feeling the proportions and day/date complication are off. Overall, owners appreciate the Sternglas Berlin Automatik for its classic design and wearability, though some debate its value proposition.

Marathon Steel Navigator SSNAV Auto

The Marathon Steel Navigator SSNAV Auto is praised for its high-accuracy quartz movement, with owners noting its comfort and reliable performance. Reviewers highlight its functional tool-watch appeal, featuring a sandblasted steel case, tritium tubes for constant low-light visibility, and 100-meter water resistance. One owner finds the 41mm case runs a bit small. The Marathon Steel Navigator SSNAV Auto utilizes an ETA F06.412 quartz movement with a claimed accuracy of +/- 10 seconds per year and includes a GMT bidirectional bezel. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Marathon Steel Navigator SSNAV Auto highly for its comfortable wear and dependable, high-accuracy quartz movement.
