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 Pro Automatik

The Sternglas Naos Pro Automatik is praised for its slim 9mm case and Bauhaus dial design, featuring clear hour markers and a framed date window. Owners note the upgraded Miyota 9015 movement with a 4Hz beat rate. Accuracy is reported as -10/+30 seconds per day, which is not ideal for precision enthusiasts. The five-link bracelet's lack of fitted end-links and the optional bracelet's chunkiness are flagged as areas lacking refinement. Overall, reviewers highlight the Sternglas Naos Pro Automatik's improved wearability and premium feel at its price point.

From video reviewers

The Bauhaus design is a strength. The value proposition is a weakness.
