What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Sternglas Berlin Automatik

Owners widely praise the Sternglas Berlin Automatik for its handsome, clean dial and a 38mm size that fits smaller wrists well, making it a comfortable daily wearer. The case is described as solid and well-finished. However, the Miyota 8205 movement is noted as reliable but noticeably loud, and the exhibition caseback is unadorned. Some owners find the watch too simple and question the value, citing basic movement and strap choices for the price, with a few feeling the proportions and day/date complication are off. Overall, owners appreciate the Sternglas Berlin Automatik for its classic design and wearability, though some debate its value proposition.

Sternglas Tachymeter 2.0

The Sternglas Tachymeter 2.0 is widely praised for its upscale feel and value, featuring a Seiko TMI VK63 meca-quartz movement and a refined case with polished and matte surfaces. Reviewers note improvements over the predecessor, including better lume and the addition of Arabic numerals, while the dial offers more color and distinct sub-dials. One owner points out that the "orange" accent is actually yellow and suggests the tachymeter scale could be more functional. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Sternglas Tachymeter 2.0 highly for its balanced design and strong value proposition as a quartz chronograph.
