What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Marathon Steel Navigator SSNAV Quartz

The Marathon Steel Navigator SSNAV Quartz is widely praised for its highly accurate Swiss Made ETA F06.412 PreciDrive movement, with stated accuracy of ±10 seconds per year, and its constant low-light visibility from self-illuminating tritium tubes. Owners find the watch comfortable and impressive, noting its 41mm sandblasted steel case with an asymmetrical design, bi-directional GMT bezel with excellent action, sapphire crystal, and 100m water resistance with a screw-down crown. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Marathon Steel Navigator SSNAV Quartz highly for its robust tool watch design and exceptional accuracy at its price point.

Sternglas Naos XL Automatik

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.
