What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Eza 1972 Diver

Owners widely praise the Eza 1972 Diver for its faithful vintage design, thin 39.6mm case, and excellent value, with one owner noting it surpasses other watches in bezel action, crown comfort, and packaging. The Sellita SW200-1 movement is reported to be exceptionally accurate, running at nearly 0 seconds per day. Some find the bezel action stiff. Overall, owners rate the Eza 1972 Diver highly for its exceptional vintage aesthetic and value proposition.

Tissot Ballade

Owners widely praise the Tissot Ballade for its excellent value, immaculate quality for the price, and attractive design, with many highlighting the mesmerizing dial and hobnail or fluted bezel. Reviewers and owners alike commend its comfortable 39mm proportions and slim case, noting the COSC-certified Powermatic 80 movement as a significant strength. Some owners find the included strap and clasp to be areas for potential improvement, and one owner noted disappointment with a quartz movement in a specific model. Overall, owners and reviewers consider the Tissot Ballade a strong value proposition, excelling in design and movement certification at its price point.

From video reviewers

The Tissot Ballade's unique, intricately cut ribbed bezel design adds depth and character to the case. The watch's stunning finishing is a notable strength, suggesting a high level of craftsmanship and attention to detail. A drawback is the somewhat lacking lume brightness, which may be a concern for those who plan to wear it in low-light conditions.
