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 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.
