What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Fortis Novonaut N-42

Owners widely praise the Fortis B-42 Official Cosmonauts for its stunning fit and finish, excellent legibility, and a precise, grippy bezel, with one owner calling its bracelet the nicest they've ever owned. The Fortis Novonaut N-42 is described as a flawless beast with a WERK 17 column-wheel chronograph movement, featuring enhanced shock resistance and COSC adjustment, and is noted as a handsome tool watch with a beautiful dial and nice pusher action. However, the 42mm case of the B-42 wears larger than expected, and the Novonaut's 44mm case and chunky bracelet make it too large and heavy for many. The Fortis Titanium Legacy is a modern pilot's watch with a titanium case and bracelet, featuring a Kenissi WERK 13 movement with a 70-hour power reserve and three time zones. Overall, owners and reviewers highly regard the Fortis Titanium Legacy for its robust tool watch design and advanced movement technology, despite some concerns about case size and bracelet adjustability.

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.
