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 Pioneer

Owners widely praise the Spinnaker Croft Pioneer for its detailed workmanship and attractive dial tones that appear distinct in sunlight, with one owner reporting excellent timekeeping of zero gain or loss over two days. However, some owners report the watch keeping poor time, losing five minutes in a day, and find the crown difficult to spin. The leather strap is also noted as rigid. On balance, owners rate the Spinnaker Croft Pioneer highly for its unique aventurine dial and wrist presence at the $130 price point.
