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 SBS 1987 Aged Special

Owners widely praise the CWC SBS 1987 Aged Special for its rugged build and military heritage, with some finding its quality comparable to higher-end watches. A reviewer notes the 41mm PVD-coated watch features a bright SuperLuminova dial. One owner reports a bit of play in the 60-click bezel, present from new, alongside minor wear on the PVD coating and bezel insert. On balance, owners rate the CWC SBS 1987 Aged Special highly for its rugged build and military heritage, despite some questioning its value at £700.
