Reviews

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

Sternglas Naos Pro Automatik

The Sternglas Naos Pro Automatik is praised for its slim, wearable 38mm case with a mix of brushed and polished finishes and a refined Bauhaus dial design. Reviewers note the upgraded Miyota 9015 movement and improved wearability. Some find the optional five-link bracelet too chunky and lacking refinement, with one reviewer noting its accuracy of -10/+30 seconds per day is not for precision enthusiasts. On balance, reviewers rate the Sternglas Naos Pro Automatik highly for its slim case and refined dial design at its price point.

From video reviewers

The Bauhaus design is a strength. The value proposition is a weakness.

Seiko Presage Cocktail Time

Owners widely praise the Seiko Presage Cocktail Time for its visually stunning dials and excellent value, with many appreciating its size and design. The 4Rxx movement is reported to keep good time, ranging from -5/+5 seconds per day. Some owners note the lack of a sapphire crystal and occasional price concerns, though many feel it competes favorably with significantly more expensive watches. One owner specifically praises the Mockingbird dial, indices, hands, and crown, while finding the case design uninspired. Overall, owners rate the Seiko Presage Cocktail Time highly for its dial aesthetics and value proposition.

From video reviewers

The dial finishing is exceptional for its price point. Quality control issues are a recurring problem with Seiko.
