What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Fears Brunswick

Fears Brunswick owners and reviewers widely praise its elegant, vintage-inspired design, beautiful cushion case shape, and textured dials, with specific commendations for hand-polished German dials and hand-applied numerals. Some reviewers would prefer a screw-down crown despite the 100m water resistance, and one owner notes the price point is steep for a microbrand with an off-the-shelf movement. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Fears Brunswick highly for its charming design and dial finishing.

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.
