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 Pro Automatik

The Sternglas Naos Pro Automatik is praised for its slim 9mm case and Bauhaus dial design, featuring clear hour markers and a framed date window. Owners note the upgraded Miyota 9015 movement with a 4Hz beat rate. Accuracy is reported as -10/+30 seconds per day, which is not ideal for precision enthusiasts. The five-link bracelet's lack of fitted end-links and the optional bracelet's chunkiness are flagged as areas lacking refinement. Overall, reviewers highlight the Sternglas Naos Pro Automatik's improved wearability and premium feel at its price point.

From video reviewers

The Bauhaus design is a strength. The value proposition is a weakness.

Praesidus DD-45

The Praesidus DD-45 is lauded for its detailed vintage-inspired design and solid finishing, with reviewers highlighting the impressive aged indices and hands on the "Patina" version and a well-finished 38mm steel case. Its 100-meter water resistance exceeds that of the original military watches, and the included leather strap is praised for its quality and vintage character, despite initial stiffness. One reviewer notes the Landeron movement exhibits jerky hand-winding. Overall, reviewers rate the Praesidus DD-45 highly for its faithful vintage aesthetic and robust build at its $900 price point.
