Owners + reviewers, side by side
Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.
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.
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.
Oak & Oscar The Olmsted 38 is praised for its sharp, stealthy aesthetic with a durable ceramic-coated stainless steel case and a clean, no-date dial. Reviewers highlight its excellent wearability at 38mm and the value proposition at $1,475, which includes two strap options. The watch features a sandwich dial with stencil numerals and orange accents, powered by a modified ETA 2892-A2 movement. Overall, reviewers find Oak & Oscar The Olmsted 38 to be a modern and aggressive take on the classic field watch, offering exceptional value.
The Olmsted 38 features tightly executed tolerances and an ultra-fine level of finishing. Reviewers did not reach a consensus on any weaknesses. Reviewers did not explicitly disagree on any points.
