Owners + reviewers, side by side
Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.
Owners widely praise the Glycine Airman Purist's 39mm case size as ideal, noting it wears well, while some prefer the 36mm variant. The 24-hour dial is an engaging feature that proves easy to adapt to, particularly for those familiar with 24-hour timekeeping. Readability is a point of discussion; while some contemporary models feature stealthy, difficult-to-read hands and bezels, others, especially vintage versions and the white-dial GL0376, offer good contrast and legibility. On balance, owners appreciate the Glycine Airman Purist for its comfortable wearability and unique 24-hour dial experience, despite some legibility concerns on specific configurations.
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.
