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.

Vario 1918 Medic Brass

Owners widely praise the Vario 1918 Medic Brass for its crisp enamel dial, easy-to-read numerals, and cathedral hands, noting the brass case develops an attractive patina over time. However, the soft brass scratches easily, and one owner found the lume to be poor. Accuracy varies, with one example running slow by about 10 seconds per day and another owner deeming the Miyota 82s5 movement just okay. On balance, owners rate the Vario 1918 Medic Brass highly for its unique dial and the evolving character of its brass case.
