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.

RZE Resolute Type A

The RZE Resolute Type A is praised for its build quality, finishing, and highly legible dial with luminous elements, all at a $499 price point. Its sandblasted titanium case features an UltraHex coating, and it measures 39.5mm by 11.5mm with 100 meters of water resistance. A reviewer notes the Miyota 82S0 movement's crown operation feels grainy. On balance, reviewers highlight the RZE Resolute Type A as a well-built and legible pilot's watch offering good value.
