Reviews

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

CWC Sea Falcon

Owners widely report the CWC (Cabot Watch Company) Sea Falcon Watch is a great grab-and-go tool watch, praised for its cool asymmetrical design and quartz movement. Accuracy is excellent, with one owner noting zero deviation over 30 days. The 41mm case is considered by some to be large for wrists around 7-7.25 inches, though one owner with a 7-inch wrist found the 47mm lug-to-lug distance to fit perfectly. Some question the value of a quartz watch priced over $800, while others defend it as collectible and worthwhile. Fixed lugs are noted as a drawback for strap changes. Overall, owners rate the CWC (Cabot Watch Company) Sea Falcon Watch highly for its reliable quartz timekeeping and distinctive pilot's chronograph design.

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.
