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.

Nodus Sector II GMT

Owners and reviewers widely praise the Nodus Sector II GMT for its versatile, refined design and surprisingly good finishing for its compelling price point. The watch features a regulated Seiko NH34 movement, running at +5 seconds per day according to one review, a sapphire crystal with AR coating, and 100 meters of water resistance. Some owners wish for lume on the GMT hand and prefer a bi-directional GMT bezel over the 120-click dive timing bezel, while others find the NH34 movement overpriced for the cost. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Nodus Sector II GMT highly for its refined design and impressive finishing at its price point.
