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-3306

Pagani Design PD-3306 owners report a change in water resistance rating from 100m to 30m, with some suggesting a potential shift in case material from stainless steel to chrome-plated alloy and the movement from Japanese quartz to a Chinese Sunon PE903. One owner found the watch to be good value for money at 169 reais, noting it arrived with a "sapphire" sticker despite being advertised with Hardlex crystal. On balance, owners note value for money but flag significant specification changes regarding water resistance and materials.

Vario Empire Tachymètre Chronograph

The Vario Empire Tachymètre Chronograph is praised for its elegant, art deco-inspired multi-layered dial and comfortable leather strap. Owners note its 38mm diameter, 46mm lug-to-lug, and 11.5mm thickness, along with a sapphire crystal and 5 ATM water resistance. Criticisms include the use of different fonts for sub-dial and perimeter markers, and the absence of a traditional running second hand. Overall, owners appreciate the Vario Empire Tachymètre Chronograph for its distinctive dial design and comfortable wearability.
