What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

CWC 1983 RN Divers Quartz Re-Issue Watch

Owners widely praise the CWC 1983 RN Divers Quartz Re-Issue Watch for its historically accurate reproduction, thin profile for a 300m diver, and a second hand that aligns well with indices. Reviewers note its reasonable size on smaller wrists, original dial layout with markers touching the chapter ring, and a broader minute hand. However, criticism is directed at the fixed 20mm bars necessitating specific strap types and the mismatched lume colors between hands and hour markers, with some finding the convex lume on the markers overly shiny. Overall, owners rate the CWC 1983 RN Divers Quartz Re-Issue Watch highly for its accurate vintage aesthetic and wearability.

Ferro Distinct 2

The Ferro Distinct 2 is noted for its well-polished finish and a screw-down crown for improved grip. One owner reports the flat sapphire crystal lacks anti-reflective coating and the dial has no lume. The watch is available with quartz Ronda, Miyota automatic, or ETA automatic movements and features a 100m water-resistant stainless steel case. Overall, owners and reviewers highlight the Ferro Distinct 2's improved finishing and practical screw-down crown as key strengths.
