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-1738

Owners widely praise the Pagani Design PD-1738 for its attractive appearance, with some calling it "very beautiful" and an "awesome gag." However, owners note the Pagani Design PD-1738 is too thick for a quartz watch, with multiple commenters stating it is significantly over 10mm. Some owners find it difficult to read and criticize it as "cheap and tacky." On balance, owners are split on the Pagani Design PD-1738, with opinions divided between its attractive appearance and its perceived thickness and legibility issues.

Seiko Essentials Chronograph

Owners find the Seiko Essentials Chronograph beautiful for its price, particularly on the grey market, praising its lightweight wearability for active use and college budgets. One owner notes the orange stripe on the stopwatch button can expand and fall off in heat. The watch is 41mm and was purchased for $160. On balance, owners rate the Seiko Essentials Chronograph highly for its aesthetic appeal and value, especially for active wear on a budget.
