    If you like the case and bracelet on this one, but don't want a chronograph, then this might fit the bill.

      I have just spent a week in hospital, I selected a cheap watch for 20 pounds (Poedegar) which has a lum on the hands which lasts for hours. it was useful at night. I really regretted that Pagani was not able to be at the same level. I own 3 Pagani, (1784, 1676, 1671).

    They do fantastic quartz chronographs. I have to wonder if their margins are so tight, they just can’t improve the lume. I used to say, I would pay more for better lume, bracelet, etc., but maybe they don’t want to. They’ve carve a nice niche for themselves. Although the day I can explain how Chinese watch brands are run, I’m then immediately going to come up with a cure for cancer… thanks for the great review!

      They do make very nice chronographs. Maybe you're right... But as you say, who knows how some of these AliExpress brands make any money sometimes. Especially with some of the deals flying about during this sale.
      Thanks for watching.

    You really presented this watch wonderfully with your outdoor shots. The dial was really popping! Don't think this would be a watch I would personally get but this is decent watch for the price. Good review.

    I agree with the 3 bad points you mention, but to me they are the other way around - l et me explain.
    The lume on a non dive watch is something that would be nice to have, but not a deal breaker for me.
    The crystal I agree with more AR would be better, but it is sapphire and suits the watch really well.
    My biggest gripe is the date window. If you cant colour match it Pagani, then dont have a date window, in fact, Id prefer the watch without a date so the dial is more balanced.
    As always, thanks for sharing your thoughts.

    Lume is literally the least important element to a watch and is more expensive than you realise.
    I much prefer the manufacturer concentrating on more important areas of the build than lume.

    • @HonestWatchReviewsHWR
      @HonestWatchReviewsHWR  Год назад

      Yes, it's not the most important aspect. But as I said in the video, if the likes of Steeldive etc can do both build quality and lume for the same kind of money, then there's no reason why Pagani Design can't.

    Some small negatives about this watch but they add up. Overall the crystal seems too reflective. I'm not a fan of the date window either. They should have done away with it altogether. You don't buy a Pagani watch for the lume.
