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 RS1 Rally Chronograph

Owners widely praise the Vaer RS1 Rally Chronograph for its legibility, with the red seconds hand noted as a standout feature. The watch is described as comfortable and good-looking, and many appreciate the inclusion of three quick-release straps. However, some owners report issues with the quality of the included steel bracelet, stating it does not seat flush on the case and that stock straps fit poorly. One owner also noted that the brand has faced criticism regarding perceived quality within its price range. Overall, owners rate the Vaer RS1 Rally Chronograph highly for its legibility and strap versatility, despite concerns about bracelet quality.
