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.

Straton Daily Driver MKII

Owners praise the Straton Daily Driver MKII for its AR-coated sapphire crystal and reliable Miyota 6S21 quartz movement at its price, with the comfortable Barton band fitting well for daily wear. The watch features a clean white dial with double panda chronograph subdials, stick indices, and a thin black bezel that owners find visually appealing. One caveat is availability — the watch is difficult to find for sale. Overall, the consensus is that the Straton Daily Driver MKII offers strong value through its sapphire crystal and quartz reliability, marred primarily by scarcity in the market.
