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.

NOMOS Glashütte Tangente

NOMOS Glashütte Tangente is celebrated as an industry classic with an award-winning, time-tested design that fits diverse environments. Reviewers highlight its slim 6.8mm thickness and 37.5mm case, housing a 52-hour power reserve hand-wound movement. However, its 30m water resistance limits suitability for beach activities, and the dual date complication is considered eccentric. On balance, reviewers rate the NOMOS Glashütte Tangente highly for its enduring design and wearability.
