What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Ikepod Megapod M301

Owners widely praise the Ikepod Megapod M301's distinctive artistic design and generous Super-LumiNova application. The watch wears smaller than its 46mm case diameter suggests, with many finding it comfortable. Some reviewers, however, would prefer a strap material other than silicone and note that a Swiss movement might be desired at the $1,490 price point. Overall, owners and reviewers appreciate the Ikepod Megapod M301 for its unique aesthetic and strong lume.

CWC SBS Black Ice Quartz Watch

Owners widely praise the CWC SBS Black Ice Quartz Watch for its legible, uncluttered dial, excellent Super-LumiNova lume, and robust build quality, noting its comfortable 12mm thickness and durable PVD coating. The bezel action is described as having zero back play, and the fixed lugs are appreciated for easy strap changes. One owner reported the lume is readable throughout the night, while another flagged a faulty mechanism requiring replacement and poor retailer customer service. The £700 price is considered high by some compared to similar quartz divers, leading to questions about its value. Overall, owners rate the CWC SBS Black Ice Quartz Watch highly for its bombproof, toolish design and practical aesthetics.
