Reviews

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

CWC Sea Falcon Chrono Diver Elapsed-Time

Owners widely report the CWC (Cabot Watch Company) Sea Falcon Chrono Diver Watch Elapsed-Time is a durable, grab-and-go quartz chronograph with a cool factor and military connection. Some owners find the 41mm case size large for their wrists, and the fixed lugs are a recurring point of contention, with users wishing for standard spring bars for easier strap changes. One user describes the dial as busy. On balance, owners find the CWC Sea Falcon Chrono Diver Watch Elapsed-Time to be a well-built watch with quality detailing, though some question its value proposition at its price point.

Sternglas Tachymeter

The Sternglas Tachymeter is praised for its sporty chronograph design and wrist presence, offering character without being an overt tool watch. Reviewers note an upscale design with a colored aluminum bezel insert and more colorful dial options compared to its predecessor. The watch is considered good value for its design, functionality, and small-brand cachet, with a charming youthfulness in its colorful dial options. One reviewer points out that the "orange" on one model appears yellow and suggests a tachymeter scale extending to 200 would be more useful than the current 500. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Sternglas Tachymeter highly for its competitive price and appealing, youthful design.

From video reviewers

The value at the moderate price point is a strength. The use of a meca-quartz movement is a weakness. Reviewers disagree on whether the meca-quartz movement is a drawback.
