What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Citizen Promaster Diver

The Citizen Promaster Diver is praised for its handsome dial made from recycled materials and lightweight comfort, with one owner noting its Ecodrive movement achieved +1 second in 7 days. Another owner highlights the "Kermit" NY0071–81E's Super Titanium case and Japanese 8203 calibre movement, which has an accuracy of +20/-40 seconds per day. Criticisms include potential difficulty maintaining charge in a large collection and a slightly misaligned bezel and chapter ring, with a preference for sapphire crystal and ceramic bezel over mineral glass and aluminum. One owner found their 1990 Promaster Aqualand's quartz movement required repairs twice. Overall, owners value the Citizen Promaster Diver for its unique dial and comfortable wear, though movement accuracy and material choices are points of varied observation.

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.
