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.

Pagani Design PD-1690

Owners widely praise the Pagani Design PD-1690 for its Tiffany blue dial, a rare feature under $300. However, the finishing on the indices is noted as a disappointment, and the "P.t. Time" text is considered unnecessary dial clutter. On balance, owners are drawn to the PD-1690 for its distinctive dial color at an accessible price point.
