What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Hamilton American Classic Ardmore Small

The Hamilton American Classic Ardmore Small is a quartz watch, and owners report accuracy variations from losing 10-11 seconds per week to gaining 10 seconds per week, which is considered within an acceptable range. While typically a women's model, owners find it wearable on smaller wrists with compatible strap options available online. One owner notes the manual wind is sensitive and the crown is slightly crooked. The modern Ardmore is not waterproof. Overall, owners appreciate the Hamilton American Classic Ardmore Small for its vintage aesthetic and wearability on smaller wrists.

Sternglas Naos Großdatum

The Sternglas Naos Großdatum is praised for its Bauhaus aesthetic and value, with one owner finding it an affordable alternative to other designs. However, some owners report it feels underwhelming and cheap, with a printed-on face, small font, and toy-like hands, and find the strap to be of poor quality. The watch features a 38mm stainless steel case, an Alabaster dial with beige LumiNova, and a Seiko TMI VJ76 quartz movement rated for -20/+20 seconds per month. On balance, owners and reviewers are divided, with the primary point of contention being the perceived quality and aesthetic execution of the Sternglas Naos Großdatum.
