What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Tissot Bellissima

Owners widely praise the Tissot Bellissima for its beautiful dial and rose gold tone, with many finding it a keeper for everyday wear. One owner appreciates the automatic movement and open case back, noting it is a beautiful choice. The 29mm size is described as appearing large on very small wrists. On balance, owners rate the Tissot Bellissima highly for its aesthetic appeal and suitability for daily wear.

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.
