Oak & Oscar The Jackson Big EyevsSternglas Naos Automatik

Oak & Oscar The Jackson Big Eye is praised for its balanced design and fine details, featuring a prominent "Big Eye" 30-minute sub-register for improved readability, reminiscent of vintage chronographs. It is powered by the Eterna EMC 3907M manual wind movement with a 60-hour power reserve, column wheel, and flyback function, housed in a 40mm stainless steel case. This limited edition of 50 pieces was priced at $3,150 and included two Horween leather straps and a wallet. On balance, reviewers highlight the Jackson Big Eye's enthusiast-spec chronograph function and readable subdial as key strengths.

The Sternglas Naos Automatik is praised for its stylish Bauhaus design and solid build quality for its price, featuring a sapphire crystal and elegant case. However, some dial text is too small and slim for easy readability, and the Milanese strap and clasp are considered lower quality, with the quick-change system also not meeting the brand's advertised standard. One owner found the 38mm model lighter than expected and preferred it over a Seiko SRP703 and an Apple Watch. Overall, owners and reviewers highlight the Sternglas Naos Automatik's attractive Bauhaus design and good value, despite some criticisms of dial legibility and strap quality.
