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.

Spinnaker Fleuss Mechanical Chronograph

Owners widely report a split on build quality, with some finding the Spinnaker Fleuss Mechanical Chronograph's construction unimpressive due to issues like a poorly seated bezel and crooked indices, while others praise its robustness and aesthetic appeal. The unique dial features character hands and glowing eyes serving as subdials and a 24-hour indicator, though the chronograph function is limited to 60 minutes. On balance, the Spinnaker Fleuss Mechanical Chronograph elicits divided opinions on its build quality, with its artistic dial design being a notable, albeit polarizing, feature.

From video reviewers

The Spinnaker Googly Black's notable strength is its reported water-resistance of 300 fathoms or 550 metres. A weakness of this watch is its lume brightness, which is somewhat lacking. Reviewers disagree on the watch's ideal size, with one reviewer noting its slimmed-down design and the other mentioning its overall size and 26+ millimeter thickness.
