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-1755

Owners widely report a polarizing design for the Pagani Design PD-1755, with specific criticisms leveled at the dial and bezel color coordination and the mix of curvy and pointy numerals. Some owners find the faux patina to be an "ugly yellow/orange" and express a preference for different crystal shapes. However, the all-brushed finish and clasp receive positive mentions, and some appreciate the retro-future vibe of the bezel contrast. On balance, the consensus is that the Pagani Design PD-1755 is a watch whose design elements divide opinion, with its finishing being a notable positive for some owners.

From video reviewers

The Seiko NH35 automatic movement and sapphire crystal are cited as strengths. The bezel action is mentioned as a weakness. Reviewers disagree on the water resistance rating.

Timefactors SMITHS NATO PRS-40 AUTOMATIC

Owners widely praise the Timefactors SMITHS NATO PRS-40 AUTOMATIC for its unique, "badass," rugged, and futuristic design, with some finding its "ugly" aesthetic appealing for its bombproof nature. The Seiko 6R15 movement winds smoothly and operates quietly, and the watch features 100m water resistance and a flat sapphire crystal. The 12 o'clock crown is noted as easy to use by rolling, and the fixed lugs necessitate NATO straps. Some owners report issues with Timefactors' ordering system and customer service, and one found a speck of dust under the crystal, though another noted no imperfections. Overall, owners rate the Timefactors SMITHS NATO PRS-40 AUTOMATIC highly for its distinctive "beater" watch build and unique aesthetic at the price.
