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.

William Wood Beacon

The William Wood Beacon is praised for its bold flavors, particularly its prominent oak and rye influence, with tasting notes of candied orange peel, dried apricots, and baking spices, and a long, full finish. Some find its oak-forward profile overwhelming and its MSRP of $300 unreasonable. Overall, owners rate the William Wood Beacon highly for its bold flavors and character, with one owner awarding it a score of 9.4/10.
