anOrdain Model 1 (Group Buy)

Owners widely praise the anOrdain Model 1 (Group Buy) for its beautiful, deep enamel dials and custom typography, which are the primary attraction and offer a unique, handmade aesthetic. The dials are noted for their legibility and how they reflect light. Some owners consider it worth the wait and expense, becoming a daily wearer. Reviewers and owners describe the case finishing as basic but well-executed with a high-polish finish, though some find the cases plain and small. The anOrdain Model 1 (Group Buy) features a Sellita SW210-1 manual-wind movement and has 50m water resistance. One reviewer noted the 12.3mm case thickness, while owners report the watch keeps good time. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the anOrdain Model 1 (Group Buy) highly for its exceptional vitreous enamel dials and unique design at its price point.

From video reviewers

The enamel dial is a standout feature. Legibility issues were addressed by reluming the hands.

Sternglas Naos Großdatum

The Sternglas Naos Großdatum is praised for its Bauhaus aesthetic and value, with one reviewer noting the prominent big date complication adds dynamism to its stylish design. Owners are split on its wearability, with some finding the 38mm case too small and the strap poor quality, while others appreciate its Bauhaus design and affordability as an alternative to pricier options. One owner notes the printed-on face, small font, and hands can make it resemble a toy, and another expresses concern the large dial might wear big. The watch features a Seiko VJ76 quartz movement with an accuracy of -20/+20 seconds per month and 50m water resistance. On balance, owners and reviewers appreciate the Sternglas Naos Großdatum for its Bauhaus-inspired design and affordability, though opinions vary on its perceived quality and wearability.
