Reviews

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

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.

Seagull Extraordinary Series Polygonal Bezel Watch

Owners praise the Seagull Extraordinary Series Polygonal Bezel Watch for its dual lume, including a UV-activated type, and the aesthetic appeal of its rose gold-colored ST18 automatic movement. The dial and bezel design are also highlighted positively, with the watch generally considered well put together and having a nice weight and feel. However, some owners find the metal bezel makes the watch look disproportionate. The pricing is a point of contention, with some stating it is not competitively priced at under $500, while others suggest it is best purchased at a low price point, ideally under $100. Overall, owners consider the Seagull Extraordinary Series Polygonal Bezel Watch a nice but gimmicky watch, best appreciated when purchased at a low price point.
