What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

IWC Schaffhausen Iw658601 Portofino Automatic

Owners widely praise the IWC Schaffhausen Iw658601 Portofino Automatic's elegant, simple design and thin 9.4mm case, making it a versatile dress watch suitable for everyday wear. Its classical look, rounded bezel, and sunburst dial are frequently highlighted as attractive features. Some owners find the 37mm case size comfortable and appreciate its slim profile, contrary to perceptions of IWC watches being bulky. Accuracy reports vary, with one owner noting excellent timekeeping and another observing a loss of almost 10 seconds per day. The value proposition is debated, with some questioning the use of an external movement at its price point. On balance, owners and reviewers appreciate the IWC Schaffhausen Iw658601 Portofino Automatic for its classic dress watch aesthetic and wearability, though some debate its value.

Vario VERSA Reversible Dual Time

Owners widely praise the Vario VERSA Reversible Dual Time for its satisfying reversible mechanism, excellent polishing, crisp dial printing, and exceptional value for a dual-face watch. Reviewers and owners alike highlight its novel reversible design, attractive Art Deco-inspired aesthetic, and the value it offers at its price point. Some owners also commend Vario's customer service. The 12mm thickness is a point of discussion, with some finding it surprisingly wearable due to its stepped case and curved bevels, while others note it as a concern due to the dual-watch construction. One reviewer points out the need to remove the watch to switch faces and the potential for smudging on the hidden side. The lack of lume on one dial is seen as a missed opportunity by one owner. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Vario VERSA Reversible Dual Time highly for its clever, well-executed reversible case design and appealing price point.
