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.

Spinnaker Fleuss Pearl Diver Nessie

Owners widely report a split on the Spinnaker Fleuss Pearl Diver Nessie's build quality, with some finding it disappointing due to issues like misaligned bezels or indices, while others praise its robust construction. The watch features a blue mother-of-pearl dial with a hidden Nessie silhouette, powered by a Miyota 8245 movement and priced at $425. One owner noted the Spinnaker Fleuss Pearl Diver Nessie felt a bit large. Overall, owners and reviewers find the Spinnaker Fleuss Pearl Diver Nessie offers good value with unique design elements that celebrate its theme without being overly cartoonish.

From video reviewers

The blue Mother-of-Pearl dial with "Nessie" easter eggs is a distinctive design element. The 43mm case size may be substantial for smaller wrists.
