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-1778

Owners widely praise the Pagani Design PD-1778 for appearing more attractive in person than in promotional images, with specific commendations for its dial color, anti-reflective coating, and case finishing relative to its price. However, the dial's font and branding are frequently disliked, with a preference for a simple logo. Some owners find the watch to be slightly too large and report difficulties with strap compatibility. Overall, owners rate the Pagani Design PD-1778 highly for its aesthetic appeal and finishing at the price point, despite some reservations about the dial text and case dimensions.
