What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Fortis Flieger F-43 Triple-GMT

The Fortis Flieger F-43 Triple-GMT is widely praised for its stunning dial execution, COSC-certified Kenissi WERK 13 movement with a 70-hour power reserve, and legible Brixtrack luminous indices. Owners and reviewers highlight the surprisingly wearable 43mm titanium case and bracelet, noting its lightness and comfort despite the size, with one source specifically mentioning a quick-adjustable extension. The watch offers 200m water resistance and features a Synchroline indicator. However, some owners note the titanium scratches easily and the bracelet can be difficult to size. The watch is priced at €4,500. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Fortis Flieger F-43 Triple-GMT highly for its purpose-focused pilot's watch design and innovative movement.

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.
