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.

KUOE ROYAL SMITH 90-010

Owners praise the KUOE ROYAL SMITH's elegant 37mm size, symmetrical bicompax layout, and crisp chronograph pushers with a swift reset. The salmon dial is described as copper-toned with highly polished, legible Breguet numerals. Some owners find the 13mm thickness and 43mm lug-to-lug wearable, while others note the 14.3mm thickness detracts from wearability. The TMI NE86A movement has a claimed 45-hour power reserve and accuracy ranging from +25/-15 seconds per day. On balance, owners and reviewers appreciate the KUOE ROYAL SMITH for its retro charm and enjoyable chronograph operation, despite some reservations about its thickness.
