Reviews

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

Swatch Sexy Thing

Owners report the Swatch Sexy Thing can feel heavy and is prone to scratching, with one owner noting significant scratching within a month of minimal use that created shadows on the dial. The watch is described by some as a tacky, "corky experiment" from the 80s. On balance, owners rate the Swatch Sexy Thing poorly due to its tendency to scratch and its perceived tackiness.

Vario VERSA Reversible Dual Time

Owners widely praise the Vario VERSA Reversible Dual Time for its clever reversible mechanism, excellent polishing, crisp dial printing, and Art Deco-inspired design, offering exceptional value for a dual-face watch. Reviewers and owners highlight its striking appearance, with one noting Cartier vibes on the white dial and Vario's signature style on the red dial, complemented by a perfectly fitting strap and deployment clasp. The 39mm case is generally considered well-designed and wearable, though its 12mm thickness is a point of debate for some, with one owner finding it gives a sportier vibe and another noting the need to remove the watch to switch faces. One owner also points out the lack of lume on one dial as a missed opportunity. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Vario VERSA Reversible Dual Time highly for its unique reversible design and impressive value.
