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.

Nodus Contrail GMT

The Nodus Contrail GMT is praised for its excellent case and bracelet quality, impressive finishing that suggests a much higher price point, and brilliant proportions, making it a well-executed flier-style GMT. Owners and reviewers highlight its slender 40.5mm case, comfortable flat-link bracelet, and 200 meters of water resistance. The Miyota Caliber 9075 movement is noted, with one source reporting accuracy regulated to +/-8 seconds per day. Some find the red Contrail name on the dial and red numerals on the roulette disc difficult to read, and the small crown and large guards may be tedious for some. One user questioned the bidirectional bezel's lack of a 60-minute index despite the existing 24-hour scale. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Nodus Contrail GMT highly for its value and build quality at its price point.
