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-1793

Owners widely praise the Pagani Design PD-1793 for its dial texture, applied logo, faceted hands, and overall case finishing, especially considering its sub-£40 price point and sapphire crystal. The VH31 quartz movement is noted for keeping time very well. However, the watch draws criticism for its 19mm strap width, sharp and thick lugs contributing to a bulky feel, and a rehaut that some find horrendous. Lume is described as standard for the brand, fading quickly, and the bracelet, while good for the price, is compared unfavorably to higher-end options, featuring a stamped clasp with limited adjustment. Overall, owners rate the Pagani Design PD-1793 highly for its exceptional value as a budget grab-and-go watch, citing its dial and finishing as key strengths.

Swatch 30 and Ticking

Owners widely report the Swatch 30 and Ticking has a loud ticking sound, a characteristic attributed to its mass-produced quartz movement and bioceramic case construction, though opinions are split between finding it annoying and part of the charm. Some owners note the crystal scratches easily, leading to it being considered a toy watch by some, while others defend its build quality and accessibility for its price. One owner reports their Swatch has lasted 25 years with heavy use. Overall, owners are divided on the Swatch 30 and Ticking, with the loud ticking being the most prominent and polarizing feature.
