Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.
The Sternglas Sedius is widely praised for its harmonious blend of Bauhaus minimalism and Art Deco elegance, offering excellent value with a pleasing wearability due to its case shape and slender lugs. Owners and reviewers highlight the smooth-sweeping seconds hand from the Seiko VH31 meca-quartz movement and the double-domed sapphire crystal. Legibility is crisp on the blue-on-white dial, though some find the black dial variant less so. The Sternglas Sedius is considered an affordable, classy, and trendy option for those seeking a sector dial watch with a good price-performance ratio, though it lacks a date complication. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Sternglas Sedius highly for its aesthetic appeal and strong value proposition.
Owners report the Swatch Sexy Thing can feel heavy and is prone to scratching, with one owner noting significant scratching within a month of minimal use that created shadows on the dial. The watch is described by some as a tacky, "corky experiment" from the 80s. On balance, owners rate the Swatch Sexy Thing poorly due to its tendency to scratch and its perceived tackiness.
