What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Straton Speciale Automatic or Quartz watch

Owners widely praise the Straton Speciale Automatic or Quartz watch for its great retro feel, TV-shaped case, and fun color combinations. The automatic version is reported to be accurate at approximately +2 seconds per day. The meca-quartz model starts at $320, while the automatic is around $800 with a bracelet, both featuring a 40.8mm lug-to-lug measurement for wearability. Owners consider the quartz version reasonably priced, with its value linked to its mechanical movement. Overall, owners rate the Straton Speciale Automatic or Quartz watch highly for its retro aesthetic and wearability at its price point.

Sternglas Taiga GMT

Owners widely praise the Sternglas Taiga GMT for its finishing and value, highlighting the yellow GMT hand as a distinctive touch. However, some find the GMT markers lack legibility, and the original NATO strap is considered poorly made. The 42mm case and 52mm lug-to-lug measurement are points of contention, with some finding it too large for smaller wrists. Overall, owners appreciate the Sternglas Taiga GMT for its attractive finishing and price point, though legibility of the GMT function and case dimensions are noted as areas for improvement.
