What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Glycine Airman No. 1 GMT

Owners widely praise the Glycine Airman No. 1 GMT for its historical significance and attractive dial. However, some find the 36mm case size to be a bit small, and the GMT hand can be difficult to distinguish from the minute hand. The watch has a very limited 3ATM water resistance. Later versions feature sapphire crystals, differing from earlier plexi models. Overall, owners value the Glycine Airman No. 1 GMT for its historical appeal and dial design, despite minor legibility and sizing concerns.

From video reviewers

The case finishing and dial colors are praised. The value proposition is tied to a sale price, with questions about long-term competitiveness.

Sternglas Naos Automatik

The Sternglas Naos Automatik is praised for its stylish Bauhaus design and solid build quality for its price, featuring a sapphire crystal and elegant case. However, some dial text is too small and slim for easy readability, and the Milanese strap and clasp are considered lower quality, with the quick-change system also not meeting the brand's advertised standard. One owner found the 38mm model lighter than expected and preferred it over a Seiko SRP703 and an Apple Watch. Overall, owners and reviewers highlight the Sternglas Naos Automatik's attractive Bauhaus design and good value, despite some criticisms of dial legibility and strap quality.
