What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

CWC 1987 SBS Quartz Diver Re-Issue Watch

Owners widely report the CWC 1987 SBS Quartz Diver Re-Issue Watch as very hard-wearing, with good seconds hand alignment and perfect bezel alignment with crisp action. The lume is described as pretty good despite fauxtina, and the watch gains approximately 3 seconds per month. Some owners consider the CWC 1987 SBS Quartz Diver Re-Issue Watch overpriced, while others appreciate its bombproof, toolish design and military heritage.

AVI-8 Hawker Hunter Avon Chronograph

Owners widely report the AVI-8 Hawker Hunter's unique handless design with rotating discs is not easily legible but can be learned, and the 45mm case wears comfortably. One owner praises the leather strap and clasp as incredibly soft, while another flags the case, crown, and crystal fitment as lacking and feeling cheap, noting the mineral glass crystal will scratch easily. The Miyota automatic movement is considered trustworthy, though the AVI-8 Hawker Hunter is sometimes seen as having a design similar to other brands. On balance, owners appreciate the AVI-8 Hawker Hunter for its unique time-telling mechanism and comfortable wearability, despite some concerns about case finishing and crystal durability.
