What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Borealis Watch Co. Sintra

Borealis Watch Co. Sintra owners widely praise its well-executed design, featuring applied indices and a shimmering blue dial that some prefer over more expensive alternatives. The timepiece is noted for excellent build quality and high-end specifications for its price, including a Miyota 90S5 movement and a premium bracelet. One owner did not purchase due to its size not being 39mm or less, while the 90xx movements are considered reliable and accurate, though some find them noisy. On balance, owners rate the Borealis Watch Co. Sintra highly for its impressive design and build quality at its price point.

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.
