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.

Vaer Field

Owners widely praise the Vaer Field's wearability, citing its slim 10.4mm thickness and 40mm case size. Reviewers and owners alike commend the crisp dial and excellent C3 SuperLuminova lume, with one owner noting it is "crazy bright." The Miyota 9015 movement is reported by one owner to run at +6 seconds per day. Some owners find the date window on older models to be a design flaw, and the lug hole placement can create a gap with standard straps. The $549 price is considered a hard sell by some, with others feeling it offers less value than established brands. Overall, owners rate the Vaer Field highly for its comfortable, slim case and bright lume at its price point.
