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 Ludwig automatic

Owners praise the NOMOS Glashütte Ludwig automatic for its exceptional blend of traditional Roman numerals and railroad tracks with modern design, highlighting fine details like the tiny logo on the crown and the exceptional dial printing. The long lugs are a significant consideration, with some finding the 35mm model wears larger and the 33mm a better fit for wrists around 6.5 inches. Overall, owners appreciate the NOMOS Glashütte Ludwig automatic for its unique aesthetic and attention to detail.

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.
