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 Metro neomatik 41 Update

The NOMOS Glashütte Metro neomatik 41 Update is lauded for its expanded 41mm case size, slim 9.1mm profile, and comfortable wearability, representing strong value at €3,500. Owners and reviewers highlight the technical innovation of the in-house DUW 6101 movement, featuring a unique, color-accented date complication and a robust quick-set mechanism. One owner reports exceptional accuracy, with less than 5 seconds deviation over two weeks, though they note a perceived susceptibility to magnetization. The 41mm size is seen as an improvement over previous Metro models that could wear small. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the NOMOS Glashütte Metro neomatik 41 Update highly for its technical ingenuity and improved wearability at its price point.

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.
