What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Brew Metric Digital Blend

The Brew Metric is praised for its fun, unique, and retro-inspired design, with reviewers noting its appliance-like execution and well-executed details. The compact 36mm wearability and tapered bracelet are highlighted as positives. However, its 13mm thickness and 50-meter water resistance are flagged as limitations, and the date window placement is a minor compromise due to the mechaquartz movement. Overall, reviewers find the Brew Metric to be a ton of fun at its $425 price point, appreciating its distinctive aesthetic.

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.
