What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

AVI-8 Spitfire Smith Automatic

Owners praise the AVI-8 Spitfire Smith Automatic for its dial depth created by elevated numerals, a deeply signed buckle, and detailed case sides. The watch is also noted for being practically mark-free with no dings found, and comes with a barely worn brown leather AVI-8 OEM strap. On balance, owners rate the AVI-8 Spitfire Smith Automatic highly for its detailed finishing and pristine condition.

Sternglas Naos XL Automatik

Owners widely praise the Sternglas Naos XL Automatik as an amazing and best affordable automatic Bauhaus watch for its price. However, some owners find the 42mm case size too large, with one describing it as resembling a "flying saucer" on a 7.25-inch wrist, and another noting its unsuitability for a predominantly white dial. The Miyota movement is described as just okay. Overall, owners rate the Sternglas Naos XL Automatik highly for its value proposition as an affordable Bauhaus automatic.
