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.

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 Swordfish Field 38

Owners widely praise the Zelos Swordfish Field 38 for its comfortable dimensions, noting they are acceptable both on paper and in practice. The Seiko NH35 movement is highlighted for its exceptionally smooth winding feel. On balance, owners rate the Zelos Swordfish Field 38 highly for its value and comfortable wearability.
