What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Dan Henry 1972

Owners widely praise the Dan Henry 1972 Maverick for its cool retro style, 12-hour chronograph, sapphire crystal, and comfortable 40mm-equivalent wearability. The distinct chrono pusher clicks and the unique ability to turn off the running seconds are also noted strengths. However, the lume is not bright or evenly applied, and the alarm feature is considered poorly executed, with a quiet, short-lived alarm and a difficult-to-use pusher. One owner reported a negative customer service experience involving a dead quartz movement. Overall, owners rate the Dan Henry 1972 highly for its retro styling and value despite noted shortcomings in its lume and alarm functionality.

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.
