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 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.

Phoibos Argo

Owners widely praise the Phoibos Argo for its appealing design and color combinations, with one owner highlighting the bronze patina development as a unique characteristic. The Miyota 9015 movement is noted for its precision, and the included strap is considered a comfortable fit, particularly for narrower wrists. On balance, owners view the Phoibos Argo as a wearable piece of art and a great watch for personal enjoyment.
