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 Sea Nymph

Owners widely praise the Phoibos Sea Nymph's unique mother-of-pearl dial and distinctive bezel styling, with some finding it a good fit for smaller wrists. The 36mm case size is considered unisex, though some owners find it too small for larger wrists, while others enjoy it as a summer watch. The consensus is that the Phoibos Sea Nymph is a fun, visually interesting watch, with its polarizing bezel design being a key talking point.

From video reviewers

The watch features a double-domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating and a reliable Swiss Ronda 705 quartz movement. Reviewers noted the inclusion of both a leather and a rubber strap.
