What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

BOHEN StarDiver

The BOHEN StarDiver is noted for its superb fit and finish for its price, featuring a satisfying 60-click ceramic bezel and a left-side crown. Reviewers highlight its unique dial design, including a triple-date window and angular case, which some find divisive. The 41mm case has a height of 13.8mm, and its short hands do not reach the minute markers. On balance, the BOHEN StarDiver is a unique dive watch praised for its build quality and distinctive design, though its aesthetic is not universally appealing.

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.
