Reviews

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

IWC Schaffhausen Portofino Perpetual Calendar

Owners widely praise the IWC Schaffhausen Iw344602 Portofino Perpetual Calendar for its elegant 40mm size and clean dial, with one owner calling it a beautiful and smart watch. Reviewers note its Kurt Klaus perpetual calendar module, accurate to one day over 577.5 years and requiring no adjustment until 2100, housed within the IWC Caliber 82xxx automatic movement. Some owners find the dial busy and the year display off-center, while others consider the design slightly feminine. One owner reported potential issues with setting the calendar backward and a perceived thickness, though the manufacturer lists the case at 40mm. On balance, owners and reviewers appreciate the IWC Schaffhausen Iw344602 Portofino Perpetual Calendar for its compact size and sophisticated perpetual calendar complication.

IWC Schaffhausen Iw3565 Portofino Automatic

Owners widely praise the IWC Schaffhausen Iw3565 Portofino Automatic for its clean, classic dress watch aesthetic and 40mm size, which is considered perfect for smaller wrists. Reviewers and owners alike highlight its dial color in sunlight, refined dial details, and overall sophisticated appearance. One owner notes it keeps excellent time, with IWC reportedly maintaining chronometer standards. However, some find its use of an external movement and its price point less valuable compared to watches with in-house movements, with one owner suggesting avoiding full retail price. One owner reported their watch stopped working immediately after being dropped. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the IWC Schaffhausen Iw3565 Portofino Automatic highly for its classic dress watch design and wearability.
