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.

Brew Metric Digital Blend

The Brew Metric is praised for its fun, unique, and retro-inspired design, with reviewers noting its appliance-like execution and well-executed details. The compact 36mm wearability and tapered bracelet are highlighted as positives. However, its 13mm thickness and 50-meter water resistance are flagged as limitations, and the date window placement is a minor compromise due to the mechaquartz movement. Overall, reviewers find the Brew Metric to be a ton of fun at its $425 price point, appreciating its distinctive aesthetic.
