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.

William Wood Fearless

The William Wood Fearless is noted for its wearable 39mm case size and comfortable 45mm lug-to-lug, with a matte black ion-plated finish and colorful rehaut accents. Reviewers highlight its recycled fire hose strap and 100m water resistance, stemming from its firefighter heritage. The Seiko NH35 movement is considered accurate for its price point. On balance, reviewers find the William Wood Fearless to be a well-finished field watch with unique heritage elements.
