What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Gruppo Gamma Vanguard Weathered

The satin-finished steel case is well-executed and aesthetically pleasing. The watch's lumières de nuit are not particularly bright, which might be a drawback for some users. Reviewers disagree on the watch's originality, with one reviewer finding it pleasing in-person and another describing it as decidedly derivative.

CWC E9 Automatic Diver Watch

Owners widely praise the CWC E9 Automatic Diver Watch for its military-spec toughness and satisfyingly easy-to-wind crown, with one owner calling it a perfect reissue due to its thin case, small size, and legibility. Some owners appreciate its durability and value as a beater or summer watch, noting its solid bars are a military requirement and highlighting its significant wrist presence and unique "Jolly Roger" dial design. Critics find the CWC E9 Automatic Diver Watch overpriced for its mineral crystal and 60-click bezel, despite its military heritage and HAQ movement, and its luminous paint is noted as low glow. Overall, owners rate the CWC E9 Automatic Diver Watch highly for its military-spec toughness and wrist presence, despite some reservations about its value proposition.
