What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

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.

Zelos Nova 37

Owners widely praise the Zelos Nova 37's spectacular 37mm dimensions and extremely light, thin wearability. The meteorite dial is frequently highlighted as a captivating feature, though some reviewers suggest simpler indices would improve legibility over the Arabic numerals. The watch is considered a considerable value at $1,999. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Zelos Nova 37 highly for its excellent dimensions and dial execution at the price.

From video reviewers

The wafer-thin case and intricate dial textures are standout features. The quality of the stock leather strap is a shared concern. Reviewers differed on whether the 37mm or 38mm case size was more accurate.
