What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Tissot Gentleman Open Heart

Owners widely praise the Tissot Gentleman Open Heart for its versatile dressy-sporty aesthetic and elegant sunburst dial finish, with one owner preferring its less shiny blue dial compared to other versions. The watch offers excellent fit and bracelet adjustability, and its modified Powermatic 80 movement achieves COSC-level accuracy of -3 to +5 seconds/day, though the seconds hand movement is slightly less smooth at 6 movements per second. However, one owner reported the watch arrived non-functional, requiring a return due to an inoperable movement. On balance, owners rate the Tissot Gentleman Open Heart highly for its aesthetic appeal and accurate timekeeping, despite a reported instance of a faulty movement.

Vario 1918 Trench Brass

Owners widely praise the Vario 1918 Trench Brass for its attractive, precisely made dial and case, with the evolving brass patina noted as a positive feature. The bund strap is considered comfortable and well-fitting by some, though others find it stiff and short for larger wrists. The lume is considered poor. The Miyota 82s5 movement is described as adequate, with accuracy ranging from about -10 seconds per day to simply running slow. On balance, owners rate the Vario 1918 Trench Brass highly for its fantastic looks and the unique character of its brass case.
