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.

Grand Seiko SBGE277

Owners find the Grand Seiko SBGE277 gorgeous, with one owner noting their wrist size can accommodate it. The watch was purchased in Japan for $4950 USD, benefiting from a 35-year low yen. One owner expresses significant concern over reported negative experiences with the brand's New Jersey service center, fearing long wait times and subpar treatment. On balance, owners find the Grand Seiko SBGE277 gorgeous, though service center experiences are a notable concern for some.
