What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Fears Brunswick 40 (Black)

The Fears Brunswick 40 (Black) is praised for its shirt-cuff-sleek 11.06mm thin case and a bespoke five-link bracelet with a butterfly clasp, noted for its wrist-hugging comfort and muscular appearance on the cushion case. Its brushed finish effectively hides hairlines. The ETA 2824-2 automatic movement powers the watch. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Fears Brunswick 40 (Black) highly for its British, bespoke take on the classic sports watch design and comfortable wearability.

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.
