What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Baltic MR Roulette

The Baltic MR Roulette is praised for its vintage-inspired roulette dial with multi-sector, multi-layer, and asymmetrical design, and faceted dauphine hands. Reviewers highlight the dial's depth created by contrasting textures like circular brushing and glossy or grained sectors, and the 36mm case's vertical bezel brushing and polished lugs. The watch uses a Hangzhou micro-rotor movement. However, reviewers note the micro-rotor movement can feel rattly and loose, producing a jangly sound when tapped. On balance, reviewers appreciate the Baltic MR Roulette's distinctive dial design and vintage aesthetic, despite the noted movement characteristics.

From video reviewers

The MR Roulette's excellent finishing, particularly on the case and the bezel, is a notable strength. The bracelet's noise when moved around is a shared weakness. Reviewers do not explicitly disagree on any specific point.

Sternglas Naos Solar

Owners widely praise the Sternglas Naos Solar for its elegant Bauhaus-inspired minimalist dial, slim profile, and value for money. The scratch-resistant curved sapphire crystal and functional date mechanism are noted as durable features, with one owner reporting good wear over a year. The solar power and accuracy are highlighted as practical advantages over automatic movements, which some find loud. However, opinions are split, with some owners finding the watch underwhelming and cheap-looking, like a toy, while others love its appearance in person and its clean, appealing design as a smartwatch alternative. The stock leather strap is described as decent but basic and potentially short for larger wrists, with one owner advising a third-party replacement for durability. One owner of a different variant noted the date font is too small to be useful.
