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-1708

Owners widely praise the Pagani Design PD-1708's solid build and surprisingly high-quality finishing for its price point, with one owner noting a comfortable 38mm case and a well-made tapered mesh bracelet featuring a signed safety clasp. However, the lume is described as a bit weak, though evenly applied. Accuracy with the VK64 movement averaged around +6.5 seconds per month over 14 months. On balance, owners rate the Pagani Design PD-1708 highly for its value and bracelet quality at its price.

From video reviewers

The Pagani Design PD-1708 features a reliable and accurate Japanese VK64 movement. A notable weakness is the lume brightness, which could be improved, particularly in low-light conditions. Reviewers disagree on the bezel diameter, with some users potentially finding it small for the 46mm case length, while others may not have an issue with it.

Pagani Design PD-1816

Owners widely praise the Pagani Design PD-1816 for its sapphire crystal and VK67 quartz movement, with some actively seeking this specific combination. One owner notes the jubilee bracelet as a positive feature. Conversely, some find the design's originality to be a weakness, with one commenter identifying it as a TinTin homage. On balance, owners value the Pagani Design PD-1816 for its specific movement and case combination, despite some reservations about its design originality.
