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 XS

Owners widely praise the Sternglas Naos XS for its simple, awesome design, domed sapphire crystal, and clean hands, with one owner highlighting the beautiful blue mother-of-pearl dial and top-notch build quality on a special edition. It is recommended as a durable, refined daily wear watch for around $270, suitable for casual and formal occasions. However, one owner found the Sternglas Naos XS to have a cheap feel and a face resembling a toy, noting it wears smaller than expected, while another described the automatic movement as a bit noisy. On balance, owners rate the Sternglas Naos XS highly for its refined design and value, with specific praise for the mother-of-pearl dial on special editions.

Phoibos Argo

Owners widely praise the Phoibos Argo for its appealing design and color combinations, with one owner highlighting the bronze patina development as a unique characteristic. The Miyota 9015 movement is noted for its precision, and the included strap is considered a comfortable fit, particularly for narrower wrists. On balance, owners view the Phoibos Argo as a wearable piece of art and a great watch for personal enjoyment.
