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 Spearfish 3

The Zelos Spearfish 3 is widely praised for its exceptional finishing, with razor-sharp polish and flawless brushed transitions that owners feel exceed its price point. The 40mm case is noted for its wearability, and the La Joux-Perret G100 movement offers a 68-hour power reserve, with reported accuracy averaging +2.6 seconds per day. Reviewers highlight the exceptionally smooth bi-directional bezel and a tool-less micro-adjustment clasp described as best-in-class among microbrands. The sapphire sandwich construction and lumed bezel are also cited as desirable features. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Zelos Spearfish 3 highly for its outstanding finishing and value at its price point.
