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.

Christopher Ward C1 Moonphase 37

Owners widely praise the Christopher Ward C1 Moonphase 37 for its aventurine dial and moon display, with one user awarding it a perfect score for its celestial theme. However, the lack of hour markers and lume-less hands make time-telling difficult, and hands can disappear against the dial. The COSC-certified movement averages +2.3 seconds per day, and the bracelet clasp is noted for comfort. The moonphase complication itself is reported by one owner to be inaccurate despite manufacturer attempts to correct it, though other users view such complications as primarily decorative. The 38-hour power reserve is considered short. Overall, owners rate the Christopher Ward C1 Moonphase 37 highly for its striking aventurine dial and moon focus, despite challenges with legibility and the practical accuracy of its moonphase complication.
