What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Phoibos Argo Bronze

Owners widely praise the Phoibos Argo Bronze for its appealing design, natural patina development, and the smooth sweep of its Miyota 9015 movement. One owner highlights the watch as a "wearable piece of art," appreciating its color combinations and overall feel. The included band is noted as a good fit for narrow wrists. Overall, owners rate the Phoibos Argo Bronze highly for its aesthetic appeal and the quality of its movement.

Sternglas Tachymeter

The Sternglas Tachymeter is praised for its sporty chronograph design and wrist presence, offering character without being an overt tool watch. Reviewers note it as an improvement over its predecessor, featuring an upscale design with a colored aluminum bezel insert and more colorful dial options. It utilizes the Seiko VK63 meca-quartz movement, is accurate to ±20 seconds per month, and boasts a three-year battery life, all at a competitive price of €389. The Sternglas Tachymeter is considered good value for its design, functionality, and small-brand cachet, offering a charming youthfulness. One reviewer noted that the "orange" on one model appeared yellow, and suggested a tachymeter scale extending to 200 instead of 500 would be more useful. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Sternglas Tachymeter highly for its value and appealing, youthful chronograph design.
