Bertucci A-2S BallistavsCWC G10 Fatboy-80 Quartz Re-Issue

Owners report the Bertucci A-2S Ballista features a stainless steel screw-back case and screw-down crown, offering 100m water resistance. One owner experienced a battery failure on a solar Bertucci that required an $85 repair. Another owner found the 40mm case size too small and experienced poor ergonomics with an A-2T model, noting the lugs dug into their wrist. On balance, owners are divided on the value proposition, with some appreciating the premium features over less expensive models while others prefer lighter, more affordable alternatives.

Owners widely praise the CWC (Cabot Watch Company) G10 Fatboy-80 Quartz Re-Issue Watch for its comfortable 38mm size, utilitarian and historically accurate bead-blasted case that minimizes reflections, and excellent legibility. The watch is noted for exceptional accuracy, gaining only two seconds per month, and its robust build with fixed spring bars and a screw-on battery access door enhances its practicality. Reviewers and owners highlight the domed acrylic crystal, the vintage-style dial with Super-LumiNova lume, and the overall nostalgic appeal for those interested in military timepieces. Some owners find the price of £250 for a quartz watch to be high, and the NATO strap with military markings is considered "cringe" by one owner, while the acrylic crystal is prone to scratching.
