The Sternglas Naos Solar (ref. naos-solar-gruen) is a solar dress watch, with a 38mm stainless steel case, 10mm thick, powered by the Seiko VJ76 movement. Water resistance is rated to 50m, under a sapphire crystal. Manufacturer MSRP is $323.
Owners widely praise the Sternglas Naos Solar for its elegant Bauhaus-inspired minimalist dial, slim profile, and value for money. The scratch-resistant curved sapphire crystal and functional date mechanism are noted as durable features, with one owner reporting good wear over a year. The solar power and accuracy are highlighted as practical advantages over automatic movements, which some find loud. However, opinions are split, with some owners finding the watch underwhelming and cheap-looking, like a toy, while others love its appearance in person and its clean, appealing design as a smartwatch alternative. The stock leather strap is described as decent but basic and potentially short for larger wrists, with one owner advising a third-party replacement for durability. One owner of a different variant noted the date font is too small to be useful.
