What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Cincinnati Watch Company P-40 A-11 Pilot

Owners widely praise the Cincinnati Watch Company P-40 A-11 Pilot for its great size, comfortable bracelet, phenomenal timekeeping, simple design, and great craftsmanship. One owner notes the finishing is sharp. Some users wish for a smaller size, and one owner points out the quick-release spring bars can dig in while the bracelet lacks micro-adjustments. Overall, owners rate the Cincinnati Watch Company P-40 A-11 Pilot highly for its great size and phenomenal timekeeping.

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.
