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 Skyhawk A-T

The Citizen Promaster Skyhawk A-T is praised for its comprehensive feature set, including radio-controlled atomic timekeeping, a perpetual calendar, and a second time zone subdial. Reviewers note the titanium models offer good wearability, though one owner found the watch felt like a boat anchor. The stainless steel versions feature polished chamfers, brushed finishing, and a bidirectional bezel with a slide rule. Some models, particularly those with black hands against a black dial, have been criticized for poor readability, while others offer semi-skeletonized white sword hands and stencil numerals for improved legibility. On balance, owners and reviewers appreciate the Citizen Promaster Skyhawk A-T's extensive functionality and build, though legibility can be a concern on certain dial configurations.

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.
