Miyota

Miyota's ultra-affordable automatic caliber and one of the most widely used movements in budget and microbrand watches worldwide. Lacking both hacking and hand-winding, it is mechanically simple but remarkably durable. The non-hacking design and characteristic rotor wobble are telltale signatures. Despite its basic specification, the 8215 is known for reliable long-term performance and easy serviceability.

02The community take

Owners talk.

“

Owners widely praise the Sternglas Naos XL Automatik as an amazing and best affordable automatic Bauhaus watch for its price. However, some owners find the 42mm case size too large, with one describing it as resembling a "flying saucer" on a 7.25-inch wrist, and another noting its unsuitability for a predominantly white dial. The Miyota movement is described as just okay. Overall, owners rate the Sternglas Naos XL Automatik highly for its value proposition as an affordable Bauhaus automatic.
