What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Christopher Ward C1 Moonglow

Owners widely praise the Christopher Ward C1 Moonglow for its gorgeous, avant-garde moonphase display and impressive lume, with many finding it comfortable and well-wearing. The constantly rotating moon phase complication is a highlight, and its accuracy is noted as exceptional. However, some find the lume on the date ring disappointing, fading quickly, and one owner finds the second, less visible moon distracting. Overall, owners rate the Christopher Ward C1 Moonglow highly for its visually engaging moonphase and value at the price point.

CWC SBS Divers Issue Quartz Watch Mk.2 Day/Date

The CWC SBS Divers Issue Quartz Watch Mk.2 Day/Date is widely praised for its exceptional legibility, particularly its dial design and thickly applied Super-LumiNova that remains readable all night. Owners appreciate its robust, toolish, bombproof design and comfortable wearability, with one noting its 11mm thickness and smaller wear size. The PVD finish withstands significant abuse. The Ronda movement is considered to have consistent second-hand movement. Some find its £700 price steep, especially compared to less expensive quartz divers, and fixed spring bars are noted as a drawback. Customer service is also flagged as potentially lacking by some. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the CWC SBS Divers Issue Quartz Watch Mk.2 Day/Date highly for its military aesthetics, legibility, and robust, comfortable tool-watch build.
