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.

Boldr Venture Wayfarer

Owners widely praise the Boldr Venture Wayfarer for its distinctive, angular titanium case, lightweight 38mm size, and comfortable wearability, especially on smaller wrists, with particular appreciation for its bright, long-lasting lume and legible dial featuring syringe hands and an orange second hand accent. Some owners note the finishing is only "ok," while others describe it as excellent, and accuracy figures range from acceptable to an average of +12 seconds per day. A few find the case design too utilitarian and the dial flat, with one owner mentioning less-than-smooth screw-down crown threads. Overall, owners rate the Boldr Venture Wayfarer highly for its unique design and comfortable titanium build at the price.
