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.

Vaer Calendar Field

Owners widely praise the Vaer Calendar Field for its excellent value, citing its clean WWII-inspired dial, thin 8.5mm to 9.5mm case, sapphire crystal, and 100m water resistance. The dial and hand design are consistently highlighted as phenomenal, with case finishing described as next-level for the price, featuring nice brushing. Some owners note the second hand does not perfectly align with markers, and the stock silicone strap attracts lint. One owner found the lume only serviceable and wished the date window was brighter. On balance, owners rate the Vaer Calendar Field highly for its exceptional dial design and case finishing at its price point.
