What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Citizen ATTESA

Owners widely praise Citizen ATTESA for its advanced solar and GPS functionality, durable titanium construction, and stylish, light-wearing design. Reviewers and owners consistently highlight the beautiful dials that play with light and the convenience of features like perpetual calendars and radio synchronization, making it a compelling "grab and go" watch. Specific models are noted for their slim profiles and comfortable 40mm cases. However, some find the titanium bracelet clasps lack sufficient micro-adjustments for a perfect fit, and one owner considers the finishing on the hour and minute hands a weak point. Operating its advanced functions can also present a learning curve. Overall, owners rate Citizen ATTESA highly for its impressive feature set and wearability at its price point.

CWC SBS Black Ice Quartz Watch

Owners widely praise the CWC SBS Black Ice Quartz Watch for its legible, uncluttered dial, excellent Super-LumiNova lume, and robust build quality, noting its comfortable 12mm thickness and durable PVD coating. The bezel action is described as having zero back play, and the fixed lugs are appreciated for easy strap changes. One owner reported the lume is readable throughout the night, while another flagged a faulty mechanism requiring replacement and poor retailer customer service. The £700 price is considered high by some compared to similar quartz divers, leading to questions about its value. Overall, owners rate the CWC SBS Black Ice Quartz Watch highly for its bombproof, toolish design and practical aesthetics.
