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 Pro GMT Automatik

Owners report the Sternglas Naos can feel underwhelming with a cheap feel and hands resembling office printer output, with some finding it wears smaller than expected and looks like a toy, though others appreciate its understated design. Reviewers highlight the Argo Automatic variant as a compelling sub-€400 mechanical watch with a colorful dial and practical date wheel, suitable for new collectors, featuring a 38mm case and a Miyota 8215 movement. On balance, the consensus is that the Sternglas Naos offers a mixed ownership experience, with its value proposition and entry-level appeal being its strongest points for some.

From video reviewers

The Sternglas Naos Pro GMT Automatik features a clean Bauhaus design that sets it apart from other GMT watches. A notable weakness is the watch's bezel action, which is not as smooth as some reviewers would have liked. Reviewers disagree on the watch's case size, with one reviewer stating it's slightly larger than the original Naos Automatic, while another reviewer doesn't mention this aspect at all.

Sternglas Naos XL Automatik

Owners widely praise the Sternglas Naos XL Automatik as an amazing and best affordable automatic Bauhaus watch for its price. However, some owners find the 42mm case size too large, with one describing it as resembling a "flying saucer" on a 7.25-inch wrist, and another noting its unsuitability for a predominantly white dial. The Miyota movement is described as just okay. Overall, owners rate the Sternglas Naos XL Automatik highly for its value proposition as an affordable Bauhaus automatic.
