This is the long review…enjoy! I was looking for a watch that will fit three roles – a dress, business, and casual watch. Also, I was looking for a watch with clean, simple, elegant design, and with an automatic movement. I studied many watches, and I narrowed my search to either a Junghans or STRENGLAS watch. I picked the STERNGLAS NAOS AUTOMATIK for the following reasons: OVERALL DESIGN AND WATCH FACE: The STERNGLAS design is Bauhaus-inspired, simple, and clean. It is a very elegant design. I especially liked the position of the company name, automatic, and date window along the 12-to-6 o’clock axis. The STRENGLAS design looks just as good as the Junghans Max Bill watch. CASE SIZE: The case diameter is 38mm – this is perfect for my 178mm wrist. WATCH CASE: The watch case is 316L stainless steel – this stainless steel has good corrosion resistant properties. The case is a little thicker to accommodate the automatic movement and this was acceptable – the watch wears like a thinner watch. WATCH CRYSTAL: The domed sapphire crystal (with anti-reflective coating) is clear, and the watch face is easy to read. The sapphire crystal is durable – in comparison, plexiglass will scratch very easily. The standard Max Bill crystal was plexiglass. WATCH MOVEMENT: The watch uses a mechanical automatic movement (Miyota 821A) with hacking. I wanted a change from quartz movements – my experience with quartz-movements is that they die after the second or third battery change when the gasket is damaged, and water/debris enter the movement. WATCH STRAPS: Good selection of beautiful leather and metal straps; the straps come with easy operating attachment pins. WARRANTY AND MANUALS: The watch came with a two-year warranty and the manual is web-based. There are also easy to follow instructional videos on YouTube. SHIPPING: DHL is experienced with international shipments; and the DHL Express shipment arrived on-time. For my watch, the shipment time (from order to delivery in the US) was 5-days. That included 3-days in US Customs/DHL processing. PRICE AND VALUE: The price is reasonable and “on-target.” The STERNGLAS watches offer a great value compared with other watches. RATING AND RECOMMENDATION: I have worn my STERNGLAS watch for 14-days now and it is great. It looks great and is keeping time within 5-sec per day. STERNGLAS is a start-up/microbrand watch company that has produced a great Bauhaus-inspired watch. Yes, I highly recommend this watch and company and give them 5 out of 5 stars – cheers!
