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

The Sternglas Naos is widely praised for its refined daily wearability and Bauhaus design, with owners noting its durable construction, scratchless sapphire crystal, and flawless date mechanism. Reviewers highlight the comfortable and supple bracelet that drapes well and a date window that matches the dial. One owner advises replacing the original tan strap due to a lack of durability. The quartz movement is noted for its accuracy, and the absence of a seconds hand is seen as a unique solution to prevent misaligned markers. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Sternglas Naos highly for its harmonious design and comfortable wear at its price point.

CWC SBS 1987 Aged Special

Owners widely praise the CWC SBS 1987 Aged Special for its rugged build and military heritage, with some finding its quality comparable to higher-end watches. A reviewer notes the 41mm PVD-coated watch features a bright SuperLuminova dial. One owner reports a bit of play in the 60-click bezel, present from new, alongside minor wear on the PVD coating and bezel insert. On balance, owners rate the CWC SBS 1987 Aged Special highly for its rugged build and military heritage, despite some questioning its value at £700.
