Sternglas Naos XL AutomatikvsSpecht & Sohne Specht & Söhne SP0018 Automatic

Owners widely praise the Sternglas Naos XL Automatik as an amazing value and a budget-friendly Bauhaus automatic watch that never feels underwhelming. The dial is noted as interesting enough for regular wear, and the watch is considered solid for business casual. One owner finds the 42mm case size can appear too large, resembling a "flying saucer" on a 7.25-inch wrist, and another notes the Miyota movement is just okay. Overall, owners rate the Sternglas Naos XL Automatik highly for its exceptional value and Bauhaus design at its price point.

The Specht & Sohne SP0018 Automatic is noted for its "bling" appeal, which may polarize some enthusiasts, and it comes with a zippered case and a link removal tool. Owners report disappointment that the large seconds hand is not a chronograph hand and the subdial is only a 60-second counter, attributing this to the watch's sub-€50 price point. One owner experienced a significant shipping delay and an unresponsive customer service. On balance, owners find the Specht & Sohne SP0018 Automatic to have an attractive style at a good price, with the brand making efforts to improve quality.
