What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

NOMOS Glashütte Lambda deep blue

The NOMOS Glashütte Lambda deep blue is praised for its haute horology aesthetics, gorgeous movement, and striking handset, with one owner finding its 13,800 € price well worth it for the full gold case, large power reserve display, and hand-engraved movement. However, reviewers note its high-gloss enamel dial can be reflective, and some owners find its 42mm size wears large due to the thin bezel and dial proportion, while its price is considered steep by some. Opinions are split on the large power reserve display, with some finding it "weird" and others appreciating its "steampunk vibes." Overall, owners and reviewers appreciate the NOMOS Glashütte Lambda deep blue for its impressive movement and unique aesthetic, though its size and price are points of consideration.

Sternglas Naos Automatik

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.
