Owners + reviewers, side by side
Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.
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.
Owners widely appreciate the CWC G40 Sonar Quartz Watch for its classic G10 design, 40mm case size, and 20atm water resistance, noting its light, rugged, and reliable "grab-n-go" nature. Some find the dial proportions have too much negative space, while others praise its unique anodized red crown and quality NATO straps. A larger crown can dig into the wrist, and the lack of a battery hatch is a trade-off for its 100m water resistance. On balance, owners value the CWC G40 Sonar Quartz Watch for its robust build and classic aesthetic, though its price point and competition are frequently cited concerns.
