What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Tissot Desir

The Tissot Desir is praised for its slim profile, mother of pearl dial, and understated design, making it an elegant and versatile dress watch. One owner finds the Tissot Desir a lovely watch. However, the border of the face is a glitter strip, not pavé stones as some might assume. On balance, owners rate the Tissot Desir highly for its elegant and versatile dress watch qualities.

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.
