What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Impossible Watch Company Art Deco

The Impossible Watch Company Art Deco is praised for its cool, awesome design that captures the art deco look. Owners appreciate the "exploding numerals" and the curved case that contours the wrist, noting it wears "a bit like a modern smart watch." Some find the Seagull 1700 manual wind movement awkward at the $675 price point. On balance, owners rate the Impossible Watch Company Art Deco highly for its distinctive design and comfortable wearability, despite some reservations about the manual wind movement at its price.

Tissot Rockwatch

The Tissot Rockwatch is widely praised for its innovative use of solid Swiss granite for the case and dial, with each piece featuring a unique pattern derived from materials like the Jungfrau mountain. Reviewers highlight its quirky charm, tactile experience, and historical significance as a business success for Tissot during a difficult period. The 38mm case size and short lug-to-lug measurement contribute to its wearability. However, the included black leather strap is considered decent at best and could be improved. Overall, reviewers celebrate the Tissot Rockwatch for its unique material, historical importance, and distinctive aesthetic.

From video reviewers

The unique dial and case crafted from Jungfrau granite are consistently praised. The quartz movement and limited functionality are noted as trade-offs at the £995 price point.
