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.

NOMOS Glashütte Tangente 38 midnight blue

NOMOS Glashütte Tangente is widely praised for its simple Bauhaus design, thin and light wearability, and German in-house manual-winding Alpha movement. Owners note the galvanized white silver-plated dial and tempered blue steel hands contribute to its appeal. The 37.5mm case is reported to wear larger than its dimensions, while some find the 35mm size perfect, others feel it lacks immediate appeal and appears "puny" compared to larger watches, though its details are appreciated up close. Overall, owners rate the NOMOS Glashütte Tangente highly for its understated Bauhaus design and comfortable wearability.
