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-1716

Owners widely praise the Pagani Design PD-1716 for its beautiful dial and comfortable 36mm size, making it a great everyday watch. Timekeeping is noted as accurate, and the bracelet is considered comfortable by some owners. However, the lume is criticized for fading quickly, and one owner found it does not suit leather straps well. On balance, owners rate the Pagani Design PD-1716 highly for its comfortable wearability and attractive dial at the price point.

Vario 1918 SG60 Merlion Trench

The Vario 1918 SG60 Merlion Trench is widely seen as a commemorative keepsake, particularly for those celebrating Singapore's 60th anniversary or born in 1965. Reviewers note its vibrant red enamel dial and 37mm steel case with fixed wire lugs, along with 100m water resistance. One owner reported the watch is "patina-ing well" after three years, and the Miyota 82S5 movement is considered a reliable, cost-effective base. Overall, owners and reviewers appreciate the Vario 1918 SG60 Merlion Trench as a unique souvenir and tribute piece, with its distinctive enamel dial being a key draw.
