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.

Spinnaker Croft Mid-Size Skeleton

The Spinnaker Croft Mid-Size Skeleton is noted for its 40mm steel case, sapphire crystal, and 150m water resistance. One owner reports strong performance from the TMI NH70 movement at -3 seconds per day, with very nice lume. On balance, owners find the Spinnaker Croft Mid-Size Skeleton to be a pretty nice option, particularly for its movement performance and lume.
