What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Fortis Novonaut N-42

Owners widely praise the Fortis B-42 Official Cosmonauts for its stunning fit and finish, excellent legibility, and a precise, grippy bezel, with one owner calling its bracelet the nicest they've ever owned. The Fortis Novonaut N-42 is described as a flawless beast with a WERK 17 column-wheel chronograph movement, featuring enhanced shock resistance and COSC adjustment, and is noted as a handsome tool watch with a beautiful dial and nice pusher action. However, the 42mm case of the B-42 wears larger than expected, and the Novonaut's 44mm case and chunky bracelet make it too large and heavy for many. The Fortis Titanium Legacy is a modern pilot's watch with a titanium case and bracelet, featuring a Kenissi WERK 13 movement with a 70-hour power reserve and three time zones. Overall, owners and reviewers highly regard the Fortis Titanium Legacy for its robust tool watch design and advanced movement technology, despite some concerns about case size and bracelet adjustability.

Sternglas Naos Automatik Edition 60

Owners widely praise the Sternglas Naos Automatik Edition 60 for its slim 9mm case, Bauhaus design, alabaster dial, and well-proportioned hands, noting it offers good value and a sophisticated look. Some owners find the movement audible and the 38mm case wears smaller than expected, while others feel the brand lacks heritage compared to established names. One owner reports the sapphire crystal remained scratch-free after two years of daily wear. Overall, owners rate the Sternglas Naos Automatik Edition 60 highly for its attractive Bauhaus styling and affordable price point.
