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.

NOMOS Glashütte Zürich date

Owners and reviewers widely praise the NOMOS Glashütte Zürich date for its immaculate case finishing and the unique depth and texture of its dial, which is difficult to capture in photos. The watch's dual-timezone complication is considered a satisfying feature with sharp clicking, and the in-house movement finishing is noted as exceptional for its price point. Some find the hour markers slightly difficult to read at a glance, and one owner suggests seeking a secondhand deal due to the full retail price. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the NOMOS Glashütte Zürich date highly for its refined finishing and distinctive dial at its price.
