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.

Seiko Alpinist

Owners widely praise the Seiko Prospex Land Mechanical for its durability, accuracy, and value, with many appreciating its versatile style and useful day-date complication. Some owners highlight the 70-hour power reserve and 20 bar water resistance as significant benefits. However, opinions are divided on its size and thickness, with some finding it too large and heavy for a field watch, while others consider it a perfect or comfortable fit, especially at 38mm. There is also disagreement regarding the crystal type, with some criticizing the Hardlex while others appreciate the sapphire. Overall, owners rate the Seiko Prospex Land Mechanical highly for its robust performance and good value, despite differing views on its dimensions.
