What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Sternglas Hamburg Automatik

Owners praise the Sternglas Hamburg Automatik's handsome design and good build quality for the price. The watch features a gold PVD case and a matte blue dial with orange Super-LumiNova, and its 42mm diameter wears well due to a short lug-to-lug distance. The Miyota 8215 movement is accurate to -20/+40 seconds per day. On balance, reviewers and owners appreciate the Sternglas Hamburg Automatik for its unique design and value.

Praesidus A-5 UDT

The Praesidus A-5 UDT is noted for its historically inspired design, featuring an oversized crown cap and chain that pays homage to WW2 canteen watches. Reviewers highlight its functional dial with embossed, Super-LumiNova filled numerals and markers for legibility, alongside 200m water resistance and a 38mm brushed stainless steel case. Some owners find the 11.7mm thickness problematic, describing it as disproportionately tall. The watch's ana/digi functionality and connection to special operations forces are also praised. On balance, owners and reviewers appreciate the Praesidus A-5 UDT for its unique historical design elements and functional dial.
