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.

CWC 1980 RN Divers Automatic Re-Issue Watch

The CWC 1980 RN Divers Automatic Re-Issue Watch is widely praised for its faithful recreation of vintage details, including its dial layout with markers touching the chapter ring and pointed crown guards. Owners and reviewers note its reasonable size and the original minute hand design. However, the lume is a point of contention: some find the "faux patina" tint too gold and glossy, while others specifically criticize the mismatched lume color between hands and hour markers, with the hour marker lume described as overly shiny and convex. On balance, the CWC 1980 RN Divers Automatic Re-Issue Watch is highly regarded for its authentic vintage aesthetic and wearability, despite mixed opinions on the lume application.

From video reviewers

The watch's accurate movement is a notable strength. A potential weakness is its relatively high price point. Reviewers disagree on the watch's water-resistance, with one reviewer suggesting it could be improved and the other not mentioning any issues with water-resistance.
