Lilienthal Berlin Lilienthal 1 – Gold BluevsSternglas Naos Großdatum

Owners broadly praise the Lilienthal 1 – Gold Blue for its minimalist design, clean dial, and satisfyingly finished hands at a mid-market price, with many noting good weight and lume and appreciating the aesthetic over competitor field-watch styles. Quality and durability opinions split: some owners report top-notch build and excellent timekeeping, while others have experienced failures like crown detachment or case degradation within a year; one owner found the SuperLuminova applied only to hands rather than dial, and another noted the sharp case edges feel uncomfortable. Customer service is inconsistent — some received excellent support and quick shipping with complimentary extras, while others reported significant delays and poor communication. Overall, the Lilienthal 1 – Gold Blue resonates with owners seeking minimalist, award-winning design at an accessible price, though build consistency and after-sales support remain pain points.

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.
