Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.
Owners widely report poor customer service and shipping delays, with some experiencing watches that arrived non-functional and others noting sharp case edges. Conversely, some owners praise the watch's quality and appearance for the price, highlighting its clean, Bauhaus-inspired design and comfortable fit. Some in the community consider it a fashion watch, while others enjoy its daily wearability and modern aesthetic. On balance, owners and reviewers find Lilienthal Berlin watches to be stylish with a clean design, but significant concerns exist regarding customer service and build quality consistency.
Owners widely praise the Sternglas Naos XS for its simple, awesome design, domed sapphire crystal, and clean hands, with some finding its 33mm case size a perfect fit for tiny wrists. One owner recommends it as a durable, refined daily wear watch around $270, suitable for casual and formal occasions, though a third-party strap is suggested. Conversely, one owner found the Sternglas Naos XS underwhelming with a cheap feel and a face resembling a toy, noting it wears smaller than expected. Another owner of the automatic variant described the movement as a bit noisy. Overall, owners rate the Sternglas Naos XS highly for its refined design and suitability for smaller wrists, despite some reservations about its perceived build quality and movement noise.
