What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Tissot Supersport Chrono Basketball Edition

The Tissot Supersport Chrono Basketball Edition is widely regarded as a good-looking chronograph offering solid value for its price, benefiting from Tissot's reputable brand standing. Owners note its reliable quartz movement and overall construction. However, some find the Tissot Supersport Chrono Basketball Edition to be noticeably large and heavy, with dimensions around 44-45mm and a 50mm lug-to-lug, making it potentially awkward on smaller wrists. The chronograph function is limited to 30 minutes. Overall, owners rate the Tissot Supersport Chrono Basketball Edition highly for its attractive design and strong value proposition.

Vario 1918 Medic Brass

Owners widely praise the Vario 1918 Medic Brass for its crisp enamel dial, easy-to-read numerals, and cathedral hands, noting the brass case develops an attractive patina over time. However, the soft brass scratches easily, and one owner found the lume to be poor. Accuracy varies, with one example running slow by about 10 seconds per day and another owner deeming the Miyota 82s5 movement just okay. On balance, owners rate the Vario 1918 Medic Brass highly for its unique dial and the evolving character of its brass case.
