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.

Boldr The Boys

Boldr The Boys is praised for its lightweight, durable titanium case, ergonomic lugs, and excellent legibility with strong lume. Owners note the competitive price and good customer service, while reviewers highlight the reliable SII NH35A movement and 200m water resistance. Some owners report that titanium scratches easily and question the brand's history and recognition. On balance, owners and reviewers rate Boldr The Boys highly for its practical features and value at $299.
