What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Venezianico Arsenale Bizantino

The Venezianico Arsenale Bizantino is widely praised for its unique Byzantine art engraving across the case and bracelet, and its elegant gray fumé dial. Owners find it extremely comfortable and appreciate its solid build quality for the €900 price point. However, reviewers note that the bracelet screws are unattractive up close, and the seconds hand can be difficult to see in certain lighting conditions, impacting legibility. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Venezianico Arsenale Bizantino highly for its distinctive artistic design and comfortable wearability.

Pagani Design PD-1693 GMT

Owners widely report issues with the DG5833GMT movement in the Pagani Design PD-1693 GMT, including the minute hand jumping significantly when setting the time and general unreliability leading to failures within months. While one owner noted timekeeping within +/- 5 seconds per day, others suggest opting for models with the NH34 movement. On balance, the consensus is that the Pagani Design PD-1693 GMT's movement reliability is a significant concern for owners.
