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.

Farer WORLD TIMER

Owners widely praise the Farer WORLD TIMER for its 39mm case size, comfortable wearability, and thoughtful case finishing with mixed polished and bead-blasted accents. Specific callouts include the PVD gold finish appearing bronze, a bronze inlay crown, shiny minute markers, a GMT ring, powerful lume, a sparkling case, and a comfortable bracelet or leather strap. The world-time complication is noted for its practicality and visual appeal, with some variants offering striking three-dimensional lume. However, some owners find the watch slightly small for larger wrists and one owner wishes the bracelet had microadjusts. A reviewer noted roughness at the edges of the micro pique dial structure where it meets other elements, which can make the date aperture appear rough in direct light. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Farer WORLD TIMER highly for its creative dial designs and excellent value at the price point.

From video reviewers

The watch offers excellent value at its price point. Reviewers noted the functional 24-hour disc and bidirectional bezel for world time tracking. No shared weaknesses were identified.
