What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

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.

Glycine Combat Sub Sport GMT

Owners widely praise the Glycine Combat Sub Sport GMT for its refined feel and sleek wearability, with many noting its thin profile and downward-curving lugs contribute to comfort. Reviewers and owners alike highlight its exceptional value and solid build quality. Some owners report the lume is sub-par, and one noted a slightly off-color lume pip on the chapter ring. Accuracy figures vary, with one owner achieving +1 second per day after regulation, while another found the stock beat error acceptable for the price. The power reserve can be inconsistent, and the lack of a date cyclops is a minor drawback for some. On balance, owners rate the Glycine Combat Sub Sport GMT highly for its impressive thinness and refined aesthetic at its price point.
