What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Tissot PRX Damascus Steel

The Tissot PRX Damascus Steel is noted for its unique Damascus steel case and dial, which some owners find visually appealing and appreciate the intricate pattern. One owner enjoys looking at the watch's movement. The 38mm size is considered reasonable for the price, though it may be too small for some wrists. One owner experienced a scratch that detracted from the Damascus pattern, but this was resolved by the dealer. The reviewer found the Damascus steel case and dial to be "a bit over the top." Overall, owners and reviewers find the Tissot PRX Damascus Steel to be a unique watch with a polarizing aesthetic, with its value tied to its distinctive material.

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.
