What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Sternglas Marus 2.0

Owners widely praise the Sternglas Marus 2.0 for its well-built, heavy case and excellent bezel action, which is considered superior to some competitors. Reviewers note the refined case and luminous dial markers, while the green dial stands out from other divers. The Seiko NH35A movement offers accuracy ranging from -20/+40 seconds per day. One reviewer desired a slightly larger screw-down crown. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Sternglas Marus 2.0 highly for its robust build and standout dial at its price point.

From video reviewers

The Seiko NH35 automatic movement is a shared strength. Reviewers did not reach a consensus on any weaknesses.

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.
