What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Lum-Tec Solar Marine

Lum-Tec Solar Marine owners praise its all-black diver design, excellent lume, and rugged, tank-like build. One owner finds it a perfect fit for a 7-inch wrist and the most frequently worn watch despite its smaller size. However, one owner cautions that the PVD coating will wear and chip within a year, impacting its appearance, and another finds the price high for a solar quartz watch with added lume. On balance, owners rate the Lum-Tec Solar Marine highly for its robust design and excellent lume, despite concerns about PVD durability and value proposition.

Sternglas Naos XL Automatik

Owners widely praise the Sternglas Naos XL Automatik as an amazing and best affordable automatic Bauhaus watch for its price. However, some owners find the 42mm case size too large, with one describing it as resembling a "flying saucer" on a 7.25-inch wrist, and another noting its unsuitability for a predominantly white dial. The Miyota movement is described as just okay. Overall, owners rate the Sternglas Naos XL Automatik highly for its value proposition as an affordable Bauhaus automatic.
