What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Maen Manhattan Ultra Thin

The Maen Manhattan Ultra Thin is widely praised for its slim case, with reviewers noting a 6.9mm or 7.1mm thickness, and its elegant, vintage-inspired styling. Specific design elements highlighted include a Côtes de Genève or hammered "Tuscan" dial finish and an integrated bracelet. The hand-wound ETA Pesaux 7001 movement is noted for its role in achieving the thin profile, offering a 42-hour power reserve. However, the black text on the vertically striped dial can be difficult to read, and the integrated bracelet lacks a quick-release system. Some reviewers expressed a desire for a 38mm case size option. Overall, reviewers rate the Maen Manhattan Ultra Thin highly for its slim, elegant design and vintage aesthetic at its price point.

From video reviewers

The ultra-thin profile is a standout feature. The value proposition is a point of discussion.

Pagani Design PD-1791

Owners widely find the Pagani Design PD-1791's skeleton dial unattractive, with one owner describing it as "ugly" and another disliking the "circle inside square" aesthetic. Some suggest it would be better suited for modifications. On balance, the consensus is that owners rate the Pagani Design PD-1791 poorly due to its polarizing and widely disliked dial design.
