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 its accurate Ecodrive movement, running +1 second in 7 days. Owners note potential difficulty maintaining charge in a large collection and minor alignment issues with the bezel and chapter ring. One owner reports an automatic movement with +20/-40 seconds a day accuracy. On balance, owners appreciate the Citizen Promaster Diver for its distinctive dial and reliable Ecodrive movement.

CWC (Cabot Watch Company) 1987 SBS Quartz Diver Re-Issue Watch

Owners widely praise the CWC (Cabot Watch Company) 1987 SBS Quartz Diver Re-Issue Watch for its bombproof, no-nonsense, toolish design and military connection, with the PVD finish being a liked feature. Reviewers highlight its highly legible, classic dial and durable, tool-like PVD-coated case that shows remarkable resilience. The Ronda 517 quartz movement is appreciated for grab-and-go reliability and good seconds hand accuracy, with one owner noting it aligns closely with indices. The 45mm case size and fixed spring bars are seen by some as positive for NATO strap wear. Some owners find the £700 price steep for a quartz watch, comparing it unfavorably to similarly specified alternatives. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the CWC (Cabot Watch Company) 1987 SBS Quartz Diver Re-Issue Watch highly for its rugged military aesthetics and reliable tool-watch functionality at its price point.
