What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Pagani Design PD-1695

Owners widely praise the Pagani Design PD-1695 for its appealing blue dial and wearability, with some finding it wears smaller than its dimensions suggest due to its lug placement. The 300m water resistance is noted as a functional benefit. However, some owners find the lume to be weak. On balance, owners rate the Pagani Design PD-1695 highly for its attractive dial and perceived value as a placeholder for more expensive timepieces.

Vario 1918 Medic Brass

Owners widely praise the Vario 1918 Medic Brass for its crisp enamel dial, easy-to-read numerals, and cathedral hands, noting the brass case develops an attractive patina over time. However, the soft brass scratches easily, and one owner found the lume to be poor. Accuracy varies, with one example running slow by about 10 seconds per day and another owner deeming the Miyota 82s5 movement just okay. On balance, owners rate the Vario 1918 Medic Brass highly for its unique dial and the evolving character of its brass case.
