Sternglas HamburgvsPagani Design PD-1773

The Sternglas Hamburg is widely praised for its Bauhaus-inspired design, good build quality for the price, and attractive finishing, with owners noting a nice polish on the case and an uncluttered, easy-to-read dial. Some find the watch lightweight and its value proposition strong, especially with common discounts. However, opinions on the design are split, with some finding certain variants garish and a departure from strict Bauhaus simplicity, while others appreciate its unique aesthetic. The Miyota 8215 movement's accuracy is reported to range from -20/+40 seconds per day, and one owner noted it is louder than expected. A deep date window recess is also mentioned as making the date difficult to see from an angle. On balance, owners and reviewers find the Sternglas Hamburg a compelling option for its attractive design and value, despite some polarizing aesthetic elements and movement quirks.

Pagani Design PD-1773 owners praise its impressive case finishing and attractive copper/salmon dial with a sunburst effect, depth, and cutouts, noting its 38mm diameter and compact 45.6mm lug to lug. However, the lume is described as abysmal, some find the busy dial's readability difficult, and owners suggest improvements to the bracelet and removal or color-matching of the date window. On balance, owners rate the Pagani Design PD-1773 highly for its attractive dial and compact dimensions, despite criticisms of its lume and bracelet.
