What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Astor + Banks Terra Scout

Owners praise the Astor + Banks Terra Scout for its compelling value and well-executed sandwich dial. The watch features a La Joux-Perret G100 movement regulated to +/- 8 seconds per day with a 68-hour power reserve, and offers 200 meters of water resistance within a compact 38.5mm case. Some reviewers noted a desire for a no-date configuration. On balance, owners and reviewers find the Astor + Banks Terra Scout a well-priced and compelling field-style watch.

From video reviewers

The watch's classic proportions meeting modern aesthetics result in a solid and substantial feel. The layered sandwich dial with a dedicated minute track is a thoughtful execution of the brand's design language. The watch's water-resistance is not mentioned, potentially leaving users uncertain about its capabilities.

CWC SBS 1987 Aged Special

Owners widely praise the CWC SBS 1987 Aged Special for its rugged build and military heritage, with some finding its quality comparable to higher-end watches. A reviewer notes the 41mm PVD-coated watch features a bright SuperLuminova dial. One owner reports a bit of play in the 60-click bezel, present from new, alongside minor wear on the PVD coating and bezel insert. On balance, owners rate the CWC SBS 1987 Aged Special highly for its rugged build and military heritage, despite some questioning its value at £700.
