What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Christopher Ward C65 Sandhurst Series 2

Owners widely praise the Christopher Ward C65 Sandhurst Series 2 for its COSC-certified accuracy and clean British-military aesthetic, with many highlighting its balanced wearability and cool, ultra-legible mid-century design. The gorgeous domed crystal and the MOD badge on the caseback are noted as charming details. Some owners find the 38mm case size potentially too small for larger wrists, while others question its claimed military heritage. The watch is powered by a Sellita SW200 COSC movement with a 38-hour power reserve and features Grade X1 Super-LumiNova on its matte black dial. Overall, the consensus is that the Christopher Ward C65 Sandhurst Series 2 is highly regarded for its character and COSC-certified accuracy.

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.
