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 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.

Linde Werdelin Oktopus III

Owners and reviewers praise the Linde Werdelin Oktopus III for its avant-garde design and comfortable, lightweight titanium case, with some noting its advanced lume applications create a striking glow in the dark. The skeletonized or octopus-themed dials are highlighted, as is the integrated moon phase complication. One owner reported a lume bezel issue and subsequent poor service experience, though the problems were ultimately corrected. The Linde Werdelin Oktopus III features a 44-hour power reserve and is water-resistant to 300 meters. Overall, enthusiasts appreciate the Linde Werdelin Oktopus III for its unique design and wearable titanium construction.
