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.

Zelos Eagle 2

Owners widely praise the Zelos Eagle 2's unique meteorite dial and titanium case, with one owner describing it as a "work of art" featuring a fully lumed dial and a scratch-resistant 1,200 Vickers hardness-coated case. The LaJoux Perret G100Soigne movement provides a 68-hour power reserve. Some owners, however, find the dial layout "ugly" and the font thick, while others note minor QC issues like misaligned markers. On balance, owners rate the Zelos Eagle 2 highly for its distinctive meteorite dial and titanium construction at its price point.

From video reviewers

The watch's compact size is a notable strength, with a 39mm diameter case and 11mm thickness making it suitable for a pilot's watch. A potential weakness is the lug-to-lug fit, which may be too large for smaller wrists. Reviewers disagree on the bezel, with one reviewer highlighting the Cerakote finish as a standout feature, while another mentions the watch's bezel in passing without comment.
