What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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. 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 also not meeting the brand's advertised standard. One owner found the 38mm model lighter than expected and preferred it over a Seiko SRP703 and an Apple Watch. Overall, owners and reviewers highlight the Sternglas Naos Automatik's attractive Bauhaus design and good value, despite some criticisms of dial legibility and strap quality.

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.

Seiko Prospex Sea 1965 Heritage Diver's Save the Ocean Special Edition

Owners widely praise the Seiko Prospex Sea 1965 Heritage Diver's Save the Ocean Special Edition for its unique dial color and execution, with one owner noting its 44mm lug-to-lug measurement is perfect for most wrists. The dial is inspired by Okinawa's ocean colors and is expected to feature a bright sunburst effect. Accuracy figures for the 6R35 movement range from -10/+10 seconds per day when off/on the wrist, which some find "pretty amazing." However, some owners consider the price of around 1500€ too high, suggesting a value closer to 900€, and there are mixed reports on the 6R movement's accuracy. Overall, owners rate the Seiko Prospex Sea 1965 Heritage Diver's Save the Ocean Special Edition highly for its distinctive dial and wearability, despite some reservations about its price point.
