What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Echo/Neutra 1956 Chrono

Owners widely praise the Echo/Neutra 1956 Chrono for its gorgeous looks and clean design, with one owner calling it a top 5 watch in their collection. The 40mm size and included straps are noted as comfortable and wearable. Some owners find the watch difficult to read in dull lighting. One owner of a 1956 GMT reported a non-screwing crown, and another owner of a 1956 GMT noted a misaligned bezel. Overall, owners rate the Echo/Neutra 1956 Chrono highly for its aesthetic appeal and wearability.

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.
