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.

Vaer DS2 Meridian Quartz

The Vaer DS2 Meridian Quartz is lauded for its wearability, with reviewers and owners consistently praising its 39mm case size as a perfect fit, noting its thinness at 10.4mm. The watch features a satisfying 120-click coin-edge bezel with minimal back play and comes with two straps for $239, powered by a Miyota GM12 quartz movement offering a three-year battery life. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Vaer DS2 Meridian Quartz highly for its comfortable wearability and accessible price point.
