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-1791

Owners widely find the Pagani Design PD-1791's skeleton dial unattractive, with one owner describing it as "ugly" and another disliking the "circle inside square" aesthetic. Some suggest it would be better suited for modifications. On balance, the consensus is that owners rate the Pagani Design PD-1791 poorly due to its polarizing and widely disliked dial design.

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.
