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

Owners widely praise the Sternglas Naos XL for its versatile Bauhaus design, domed sapphire crystal, and value, with some finding its larger size comfortable and refined for its price. However, opinions are split on its aesthetic appeal, with one owner finding the hands and face underwhelming, while others appreciate the minimalistic dial. The date font is noted as too small to be useful by one owner, and the stock strap is generally considered basic or prone to wear. Accuracy figures vary, with one owner reporting a Miyota movement running fast and another noting +13 seconds per day. Overall, owners rate the Sternglas Naos XL highly for its Bauhaus aesthetics and affordability, despite some reservations about the movement and strap.

Pagani Design PD-1780

Owners widely praise the Pagani Design PD-1780 for its stunning appearance and exceptional value, with many highlighting its flawless dial surfaces and impressive finishing at its $70 price point. The watch is noted for its decent to impressive lume, and the Seiko VH88 quartz movement provides a 4-beat-per-second sweeping seconds hand. However, a recurring point of contention among owners is the numeral arrangement, particularly the "3" and "4" o'clock positions, which some find disorienting or less appealing. One owner also noted weak lume on their example. Overall, owners rate the Pagani Design PD-1780 highly for its value and aesthetics, despite some reservations about dial design elements.
