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 SLGW003

The Grand Seiko SLGW003 is praised for its comfortable, lightweight Brilliant Hard Titanium case, meticulous finishing, and a clean, modern dial. Reviewers highlight the new 9SA4 manual-wind movement, noting its attractive finishing, 80-hour power reserve, and accuracy of -3/+5 seconds per day. It is considered a versatile dress watch blending vintage and future Grand Seiko spirit. The €11,700 price is noted as expensive, with some questioning its value. Overall, reviewers rate the Grand Seiko SLGW003 highly for its elegant design and impressive manual-wind movement at its flagship price point.
