Reviews

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

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. Owners find the 38mm model lighter than comparable watches and prefer its aesthetic over smartwatches. 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 not meeting advertised standards. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Sternglas Naos Automatik highly for its Bauhaus design and build quality at its price point.

From video reviewers

The German minimalist and Bauhaus aesthetic is a key strength. Reviewers did not agree on any specific weaknesses. Reviewers disagreed on whether the watch offers superior value compared to the Junghans Max Bill.

Orient 75th Anniversary Stretto Date

The Orient 75th Anniversary Stretto Date is praised for its well-finished, balanced 38.5mm case that is lighter than other Orient divers, and is considered classy and elegant with a beautiful sun and moon dial. Owners note this limited edition diver costs $241 and features an in-house automatic movement. Some find the sun and moon complication pointless as it's not a true moonphase, and the bracelet clasp is noted as tiny. Overall, owners rate the Orient 75th Anniversary Stretto Date highly for its elegant design and well-finished case at the price.
