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.

Tissot PR516

Owners and reviewers widely praise the Tissot PR516 for its vintage-inspired dial, robust case finishing, and the horological substance offered at its price point, with some noting its 38mm size and historical connections as highlights. The manual-wind movement is frequently cited for its 68-hour power reserve and modern technology. However, the watch's 14mm thickness and substantial lug-to-lug distance are noted as potentially making it wear large on smaller wrists. Some owners find the dial bland and the fixed bezel disappointing, while others criticize the basic stamped clasp and simplistic movement finishing visible through the display caseback. On balance, owners and reviewers consider the Tissot PR516 a compelling heritage-inspired sports watch, particularly for its value and vintage motorsport aesthetic.

From video reviewers

The value proposition against competitors is a shared strength. Reviewers did not agree on the case size, with mentions of 40mm and 38mm.
