What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Sternglas Naos Automatik Edition Oxford

Owners widely praise the Sternglas Naos Automatik Edition Oxford for its elegant Bauhaus design, particularly the "Alabaster" dial described as a warm grey, beige, or silver, and its well-proportioned handset with distinctive red accents. The compact lugs and sapphire crystal are also highlighted as positive design elements contributing to its wearability. However, some owners find the movement audible and the small crown difficult to grip, making winding and setting inconvenient. One owner noted the finishing is not comparable to higher-end brands. On balance, owners rate the Sternglas Naos Automatik Edition Oxford highly for its attractive, affordable Bauhaus aesthetic and versatile wearability.

CWC SBS 1987 Aged Special

Owners widely praise the CWC SBS 1987 Aged Special for its rugged build and military heritage, with some finding its quality comparable to higher-end watches. A reviewer notes the 41mm PVD-coated watch features a bright SuperLuminova dial. One owner reports a bit of play in the 60-click bezel, present from new, alongside minor wear on the PVD coating and bezel insert. On balance, owners rate the CWC SBS 1987 Aged Special highly for its rugged build and military heritage, despite some questioning its value at £700.
