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 the Citizen ATTESA for its stylish, tech-heavy design, comfortable titanium build, and excellent value, particularly its solar and GPS/radio sync accuracy. Reviewers and owners highlight the beautiful, legible dials and the convenience of features like perpetual calendars and easy time zone changes, making it a great "grab and go" watch. Some owners find the mode cycling over-complicated or the size large, and one reviewer notes the finishing on the hour and minute hands can be rough. The titanium bracelet's micro-adjust clasp is also a point of contention, with some finding it offers limited sizing options and a flimsy feel. Overall, owners rate Citizen ATTESA highly for its advanced features and comfortable, lightweight titanium construction at a competitive price.

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.
