Reviews

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

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 XS Automatik

Owners widely praise the Sternglas Naos XS Automatik for its elegant Bauhaus design and comfortable wearability, attributed to its compact lugs and slim case. One owner notes the Miyota movement is loud, while another reports their movement gained 8-12 seconds daily, though legibility suffers in low light. The Sternglas Naos XS Automatik is considered good value by some, though others find Sternglas watches overpriced. On balance, owners rate the Sternglas Naos XS Automatik highly for its minimalist design and comfortable wearability.

From video reviewers

The Bauhaus aesthetic is a key selling point. Reviewers did not agree on whether the watch fully captures the "Bauhaus magic" of more expensive alternatives.
