Cons
The price point of $120 is both a blessing and a curse. While the price makes it accessible to most buyers it also limits the company as to what they can include on the watch itself.
Some customers have complained of the bracelet being somewhat sharp along the edges. The lume isn’t the brightest out there, and others have claimed the dial is hard to read because of the colors.
While some of these cons may vary from person to person, they are still worth being mindful of.
Who This Is For
This watch is for the man who loves the design of the Omega Speedmaster, but doesn’t love the $6,000 price tag.
Its a great way to get a quality watch without spending a arm and a leg for the name and materials found on the Omega.
Lastly its also for those who do not mind homage timepieces. If you are far enough on your style journey to not care what others think, it’s the perfect affordable watch for you.
Who This Is Not For
This watch is probably not for the true watch connoisseurs. If you find value in having the original timepieces itself, you’d probably prefer having the actual Omega rather than a homage.
Additionally, if you enjoy higher quality materials, you will want to go with something else. At $120, you can only expect so much.
Lastly, it’s not for those who would be bothered by others opinions. If it would bother you to have people see you with a watch that looks like an Omega but isn’t actually an Omega then don’t buy this watch.
Conclusion
I must say that I really enjoy my first Pagani Design watch. Notice I said first, because I definitely plan on getting another one in the future.
If I had $6,000 available to me, I wouldn’t buy any article of clothing or accessory. I’d much rather save, invest, or use that money to experience something with my family.
While the original Omega Speedmaster is a thing of beauty, it simply doesn’t mean that much to me. I won’t be saving for one.
Additionally, I wouldn’t pay $6,000 just for the “peace of mind” I had the original.
With all that said ,if you can afford a Omega and thats what you want, then by all means get one. It’s just not my thing.
(Back to the conclusion)
You really get a incredible value from Pagani Design with their Saphhire Crystal, band materials, and overall asthetic. For $120, you definitely get a lot of “bang for your buck”.
I always look forward to when I get to wear it as its visually pleasing, and feels great on the wrist.
In closing this is a watch (and brand) I’d highly recommend to friends and family. Browse through Amazon to see what other popular models Pagani Design has to offer.
Until next time Gents!
