Owners + reviewers, side by side
Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.
Owners and reviewers widely praise the Venezianico Arsenale 37 for its superb execution and value, highlighting its thin 8.95mm case and excellent finishing for its sub-$1000 price. The dynamic dial, featuring Côtes de Genève, is noted as a positive design element. Some owners desire a smaller diameter and half links for the bracelet, and the strap-changing mechanism is described as difficult. One reviewer points out the lack of lume and visible screws fastening the bracelet, while another notes the seconds hand can become invisible under certain lighting conditions. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Venezianico Arsenale 37 highly for its impressive finishing and thin case at its price point.
The watch's compact 37mm case is a notable strength, fitting almost every wrist perfectly. A weakness is the somewhat lacking lume brightness, which may be a drawback for some users. Reviewers disagree on the lug-to-lug length, with some finding it too short and others not mentioning it as an issue.
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.
