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.

Grand Seiko SBGM245

Owners widely appreciate the Grand Seiko SBGM245 for its blend of sport and luxury, with one enthusiast highlighting its superior workmanship over quartz movements. However, opinions on its size vary, as one owner found the SBGM245 too large, preferring the comfort of a different variant. Overall, owners value the Grand Seiko SBGM245 for its refined craftsmanship, though its wearability is a point of personal preference.
