What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Dan Henry 1970

Owners widely praise the Dan Henry 1970 for its striking looks, particularly the art deco hands and fantastic crystal. The 44mm size is noted as a drawback for wrists under 7 inches, and one owner reported strap change marks inside the lugs and a small mark on the clasp. The watch features a 41-hour power reserve and 200-meter water resistance. Overall, owners rate the Dan Henry 1970 highly for its distinctive vintage-inspired design and value at $295.

Pagani Design PD-1796

The Pagani Design PD-1796 features an open-heart design, not a tourbillon as initially marketed, and includes a noticeable blue anti-reflective coating. Owners are divided on its aesthetic, with some appreciating its unique dial layout and manual/automatic movement, while others find the design unappealing and criticize the lack of AR coating for legibility issues. On balance, the consensus is that owners find the Pagani Design PD-1796 polarizing due to its misrepresented complication and mixed reception on its dial design and AR coating.
