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.

Tudor Black Bay Ceramic

The Tudor Black Bay Ceramic's matte ceramic case and bracelet offer a stealthy, scratch-proof aesthetic that shifts from anthracite to gray in light. Reviewers note its comfortable wearability, with one highlighting improved comfort over steel versions, and praise the METAS-certified MT5602-U movement. However, the sandblasted finishing is described as lacking contrast, and the bracelet's butterfly clasp omits on-the-fly adjustment. The PVD-treated steel bezel ring is also flagged as a potential wear-and-tear vulnerability. On balance, reviewers find the Tudor Black Bay Ceramic appealing for its unique ceramic construction and durable, stealthy finish, despite some functional limitations.
