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.

Phoibos Depth Hunter

Owners widely praise the Phoibos Depth Hunter for its surprisingly slim 300m diver case and unique, summery design. One owner highlights its solid build, well-made bracelet with toolless microadjust, great finishing for the price, attractive color palette, long-lasting lume, sharp case lines, and accuracy of +5-7 seconds per day. However, some find the case and dial do not match well, and the lume is disappointing, while others dislike the "popsicle stick" hands. The aesthetic may not appeal to everyone, with some preferring alternative designs. Overall, owners rate the Phoibos Depth Hunter highly for its slim profile and distinctive design at its price point.
