Sternglas Naos SolarvsTedoro Harmony 36mm Stainless Steel Seiko NH35A

Owners widely praise the Sternglas Naos Solar for its elegant Bauhaus-inspired minimalist dial, slim profile, and value for money. The scratch-resistant curved sapphire crystal and functional date mechanism are noted as durable features, with one owner reporting good wear over a year. The solar power and accuracy are highlighted as practical advantages over automatic movements, which some find loud. However, opinions are split, with some owners finding the watch underwhelming and cheap-looking, like a toy, while others love its appearance in person and its clean, appealing design as a smartwatch alternative. The stock leather strap is described as decent but basic and potentially short for larger wrists, with one owner advising a third-party replacement for durability. One owner of a different variant noted the date font is too small to be useful.

The Tedoro Harmony 36mm Stainless Steel Seiko NH35A is built around the reliable Seiko NH35A automatic movement, with owners reporting accuracy around +/- 5 seconds per day. The 36mm case size is noted as being a custom build, incorporating parts from AliExpress and an Invicta Pro Diver, with specific mention of gold hour and minute hands. On balance, owners find the Tedoro Harmony 36mm Stainless Steel Seiko NH35A to be a satisfactory custom build, appreciating the reliability of the NH35A movement and the familiar styling.
