What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Cincinnati Watch Company P-40 A-11 Pilot Black Automatic

Owners widely praise the Cincinnati Watch Company P-40 A-11 Pilot Black Automatic for its sharp finishing, textured pearlescent dial, and excellent lume. The simple, understated design and comfortable 38mm size are also frequently highlighted. Some owners note the bracelet lacks quick micro-adjustments and the quick-release spring bars can dig into the wrist. One owner found the lume blocks potentially thinner and the font on larger numbers less desirable than a standard typeface, though the seconds hand was considered a success. Overall, owners highly recommend the Cincinnati Watch Company P-40 A-11 Pilot Black Automatic for its great craftsmanship and value.

Sternglas Tachymeter

The Sternglas Tachymeter is praised for its sporty chronograph design and wrist presence, offering character without being an overt tool watch. Reviewers note it as an improvement over its predecessor, featuring an upscale design with a colored aluminum bezel insert and more colorful dial options. It utilizes the Seiko VK63 meca-quartz movement, is accurate to ±20 seconds per month, and boasts a three-year battery life, all at a competitive price of €389. The Sternglas Tachymeter is considered good value for its design, functionality, and small-brand cachet, offering a charming youthfulness. One reviewer noted that the "orange" on one model appeared yellow, and suggested a tachymeter scale extending to 200 instead of 500 would be more useful. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Sternglas Tachymeter highly for its value and appealing, youthful chronograph design.
