What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Sugess Seestern S430 Titanium Diver

Owners widely praise the Sugess Seestern S430 Titanium Diver for its genuine titanium construction, making it extremely light and comfortable at 92 grams on a 6.7-inch wrist. The ceramic bezel is described as fantastic and mesmerizing to use, and the brushed finishing is noted as nice. The watch features an NH38 movement, which is appreciated for its lack of ghost date functionality. However, some owners find the price comparable to competitors and have noted issues with the clasp's fit, with some finding the existing holes insufficient and the rotating arm needing to bend. The crown unscrewing is not smooth, and the bezel action is described as gritty with uneven resistance. One owner reported a crown tube failure on a V1 model. Overall, owners rate the Sugess Seestern S430 Titanium Diver highly for its lightweight titanium build and excellent ceramic bezel, despite some concerns regarding the clasp design.

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.
