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.

Pagani Design PD-1793

Owners widely praise the Pagani Design PD-1793 for its dial texture, applied logo, faceted hands, and overall case finishing, especially considering its sub-£40 price point and sapphire crystal. The VH31 quartz movement is noted for keeping time very well. However, the watch draws criticism for its 19mm strap width, sharp and thick lugs contributing to a bulky feel, and a rehaut that some find horrendous. Lume is described as standard for the brand, fading quickly, and the bracelet, while good for the price, is compared unfavorably to higher-end options, featuring a stamped clasp with limited adjustment. Overall, owners rate the Pagani Design PD-1793 highly for its exceptional value as a budget grab-and-go watch, citing its dial and finishing as key strengths.
