Reviews

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

CWC Arctic Radar Automatic Diver Watch

Owners widely praise the CWC Arctic Radar Automatic Diver Watch for its timeless design and reliable, "grab and go" nature. However, the community is split on its value proposition, with some finding the pricing steep given the Sellita SW200-1 movement, while others consider it a good value compared to more expensive alternatives. Fixed spring bars are noted as a point of criticism. On balance, owners rate the CWC Arctic Radar Automatic Diver Watch highly for its proven formula and beloved case design, despite mixed opinions on its price.

Yema Diver

One owner reported a water ingress issue on their Yema Diver the first time it got wet in a lake, despite rinsing and inspecting the watch and bezel. Another owner noted that this manual wind Yema Diver, while featuring a cool patina, is unlikely to be waterproof or gain value, positioning it as a fun second watch rather than an investment. Overall, owners view the Yema Diver as a fun second watch rather than an investment, with one owner experiencing a water ingress issue.

From video reviewers

The Swiss Sellita movement is a notable feature. Reviewers did not reach a consensus on any weaknesses.
