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 GMT Automatik

Owners report the Sternglas Naos can feel underwhelming with a cheap feel and hands resembling office printer output, with some finding it wears smaller than expected and looks like a toy, though others appreciate its understated design. Reviewers highlight the Argo Automatic variant as a compelling sub-€400 mechanical watch with a colorful dial and practical date wheel, suitable for new collectors, featuring a 38mm case and a Miyota 8215 movement. On balance, the consensus is that the Sternglas Naos offers a mixed ownership experience, with its value proposition and entry-level appeal being its strongest points for some.

From video reviewers

The Sternglas Naos Pro GMT Automatik features a clean Bauhaus design that sets it apart from other GMT watches. A notable weakness is the watch's bezel action, which is not as smooth as some reviewers would have liked. Reviewers disagree on the watch's case size, with one reviewer stating it's slightly larger than the original Naos Automatic, while another reviewer doesn't mention this aspect at all.

Seiko Prospex Sea 1965 Heritage Diver's Watch PADI Special Edition

The Seiko Prospex Sea 1965 Heritage Diver's Watch PADI Special Edition is praised for its attractive emerald green sunburst dial with gold accents and its comfortable wearability. Owners note the dial looks gorgeous in the right light, and some find it fits better than other models. The watch features a 40mm steel case, a domed sapphire crystal, and 300m water resistance, powered by the 6R55 movement with a 72-hour power reserve. However, some find the watch wears top-heavy due to its density and case design, and the bracelet clasp is criticized for stamped parts and limited micro-adjustment. The retail price of €1,700 is considered high by some, with sales recommended. Overall, owners and reviewers appreciate the dial's beauty and the watch's comfortable fit, despite some reservations about its weight distribution and bracelet clasp.
