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

The Sternglas Berlin is praised for its stylish Art Deco-inspired design and slim 38mm case, offering good value at $270 for newcomers to watches. One reviewer notes the Miyota GM02 quartz movement is accurate to ±20 seconds per month, but flags the included leather strap as squeaky and suggests an alternative. Overall, owners find the Sternglas Berlin a satisfying purchase for its aesthetic and price point.

Vario 1945 A-11S Solar Quartz

Owners widely praise the Vario 1945 A-11S Solar Quartz for its superb case finishing, legibility, and premium look, with its 40mm size proving comfortable for many wrists. Reviewers highlight its incredible value at $198, featuring a Miyota solar quartz movement and polished chamfers adding unexpected style. Some owners note the lume is poor and the 50-meter water resistance is limited, while others desire a big date complication not supported by the solar movement. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Vario 1945 A-11S Solar Quartz highly for its excellent finishing and value proposition.
