Dryden Chrono Diver Gen 2vsPagani Design PD-1707

Owners widely praise the Dryden Chrono Diver Gen 2 for its exceptional value and comfortable wearability, with particular appreciation for its refined PVD finish. The watch features a Seiko VK63 Meca-Quartz movement, improved lume, and solid bezel action, all housed in a 42mm case with recessed pushers and 100m water resistance. Some owners note the 49mm lug-to-lug may be large for smaller wrists. On balance, owners rate the Dryden Chrono Diver Gen 2 highly for its amazing value and comfortable wearability.

Owners widely praise the Pagani Design PD-1707 for its sporty, masculine, and technically elegant appearance, with many finding its size and weight comfortable and well-balanced. The general finish is considered excellent for the price, and the dial is described as awesome and beautiful. However, some owners note slightly sharp edges on the bracelet links, and the bracelet itself is described as poor by one user. The bezel is often misaligned, and the chronograph seconds hand is small and hard to see. Additionally, the tiny screw-down chronograph pushers are difficult to operate, especially on the wrist, and the subdials can hinder quick time reading. Some owners note the end link appears larger than the lugs. Overall, owners rate the Pagani Design PD-1707 highly for its attractive design and good finishing at the price, despite some functional and finishing drawbacks.
