What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Venezianico Nereide Acquaforte

Owners widely praise the Venezianico Nereide's striking dial design and overall finishing, with many finding its appearance and feel superior in person. The bracelet is noted for its comfort and quality, and the watch is considered suitable for daily wear. Some owners find the case a bit thick for wear under a cuff. The movement is a point of discussion, with one owner preferring a thinner, more accurate caliber over the NH45a, while another review highlights the reliable Sellita SW200-1. The watch is regarded as a good value mechanical diver-style timepiece, featuring a handsome design with a decorative tungsten bezel and aventurine dial, though the stock rubber strap can be stiff. Overall, owners rate the Venezianico Nereide highly for its exceptional dial and finishing at its price point.

From video reviewers

The watch's unique engraved case, inspired by Renaissance ornamentation, is a standout feature. The Miyota 9039 automatic movement provides reliable accuracy. A significant drawback is the difficulty in sourcing the watch due to its high demand.

Vario Empire Tachymètre Chronograph

The Vario Empire Tachymètre Chronograph is praised for its elegant, art deco-inspired multi-layered dial and comfortable leather strap. Owners note its 38mm diameter, 46mm lug-to-lug, and 11.5mm thickness, along with a sapphire crystal and 5 ATM water resistance. Criticisms include the use of different fonts for sub-dial and perimeter markers, and the absence of a traditional running second hand. Overall, owners appreciate the Vario Empire Tachymètre Chronograph for its distinctive dial design and comfortable wearability.
