What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Ikepod Hemipode

Owners praise the Ikepod Hemipode's comfortable wearability, with one owner finding the 44mm case manageable on a 6.75" wrist due to its design reducing virtual lug-to-lug length. The chronograph features a modified, COSC-certified Valjoux 7750 movement with a second timezone display. Reviewers highlight its distinctive, UFO-like, disc-shaped 44mm case, designed by Marc Newson, which appeared massive in the late 90s and is described as a maximalist take on a minimalist idea. On balance, owners and reviewers appreciate the Ikepod Hemipode for its unique, bold design and comfortable wearability despite its substantial size.

IWC Schaffhausen Iw3716 Portugieser Chronograph

Owners widely praise the IWC Schaffhausen Iw3716 Portugieser Chronograph for its handsome, legible design, with particular appreciation for the "Blue Panda" variant's contrasting blue subdials on a white lacquer dial. Reviewers and owners alike note the comfortable wearability, with the 41mm case size and included rubber strap highlighted as versatile for various occasions. The automatic IWC manufacture calibre 69355 movement is recognized for its crisp, smooth column-wheel chronograph actuation. One owner reported the watch arriving DOA and experiencing issues during attempted repairs, while reviewers consider the 30m water resistance a minor drawback. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the IWC Schaffhausen Iw3716 Portugieser Chronograph highly for its versatile aesthetic and the pleasing feel of its chronograph function.
