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.

Grand Seiko SBGZ003

Grand Seiko SBGZ003 owners and reviewers widely praise its classic 38.5mm x 9.8mm dimensions and the meticulous perfection of its craft, with some calling it the sexiest Grand Seiko ever seen. The Spring Drive caliber 9R02 offers an 84-hour power reserve. Some find the dial's color off-putting, and the $57,000 price is a significant barrier for many. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Grand Seiko SBGZ003 highly for its stunning "carved" dial and Micro Artist Studio finishing.
