What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Spinnaker Hull California (Popeye Navy)

The Spinnaker Hull California (Popeye Navy) is noted for its unique design, featuring Popeye's arms as hands, which appeals to owners seeking a bold, quirky piece. Some owners appreciate the watch's solid build, textured dial, applied indices, and applied logo, along with decent SuperLuminova lume on the hands and indices. The watch utilizes a Seiko NH35 movement with a power reserve around 40-41 hours. One owner points out an anatomical inaccuracy in the Popeye depiction, with both characters shown with two right arms. Another reviewer notes the 42mm cushion case has a noticeable 15.7mm thickness.

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.
