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.

Glycine Combat Sub Chronograph Sport

Owners widely praise the Glycine Combat Sub Chronograph Sport for its exceptional value as a Swiss automatic diver, highlighting its refined finishing, thin profile at around 10.4-10.8mm, and accurate movements. The watch is noted for its comfortable wearability, with downward-curving lugs on the 42mm case making it wear smaller than its dimensions suggest, and its unique aesthetic is appreciated for avoiding homage designs. Some owners dislike the "COMBAT" text on the dial and find the original strap or bracelet to be lacking, though it is considered a versatile "strap monster." The lume is described as sub-par by one owner, and another noted an inconsistent power reserve. There is a design critique regarding the date window placement, with one owner calling it a significant flaw while another finds it acceptable due to its alignment with the crown.
