What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Duxot Tortuga

Owners widely consider the Duxot Tortuga a cool-looking, unique watch with trustworthy water resistance. Some owners find the bezel visually appealing, though one notes it feels cheaper than that on a Bulova Surveyor. The Duxot Tortuga is considered by some to be slightly overpriced, with movements appearing to be off-the-shelf Japanese calibers. On balance, owners view the Duxot Tortuga positively for its unique design and reliable water resistance, despite some feeling it is overpriced.

Pagani Design PD-1736

Owners widely praise the Pagani Design PD-1736 for its tremendous value and stylish design, noting a deep blue sunburst dial, a solid Seiko NH39 movement, and tight stainless steel finishing. Some find the watch elegant and a great value at its price point, appreciating the blue to black fade dial and comfortable strap. However, community feedback flags several quality control issues, including sloppy or misaligned bezels, rough case finishing with sharp corners, and misaligned markers. The lume is consistently described as poor, and the strap, while comfortable for some, has been noted to tear with use and is considered stiff by others. The 24-hour subdial is deemed pointless by some owners, especially given the absence of a date window. Overall, owners rate the Pagani Design PD-1736 highly for its appealing design and value, despite noted quality control inconsistencies.
