Ferro Distinct 2vsIWC Schaffhausen Iw3565 Portofino Automatic

The Ferro Distinct 2 is noted for its well-polished finish and a screw-down crown for improved grip. One owner reports the flat sapphire crystal lacks anti-reflective coating and the dial has no lume. The watch is available with quartz Ronda, Miyota automatic, or ETA automatic movements and features a 100m water-resistant stainless steel case. Overall, owners and reviewers highlight the Ferro Distinct 2's improved finishing and practical screw-down crown as key strengths.

Owners widely praise the IWC Schaffhausen Portofino for its clean, classic dress watch aesthetics and a 40mm dial size suitable for smaller wrists, with one owner noting it keeps excellent time. The watch is described as a classy, under-the-radar timepiece with simple elegance, and its cases feature rounded bezels and straight lugs reminiscent of pocket watches. Some owners find it overpriced, especially considering it historically did not use in-house movements, and one user would not pay full price, suggesting used deals. One owner reported their Portofino Automatic stopped working after being dropped, requiring a two-month repair. Overall, owners rate the IWC Schaffhausen Portofino highly for its clean aesthetics and wearability on smaller wrists.
