Reviews

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

CWC Arctic Radar Automatic Diver

Owners widely praise the CWC (Cabot Watch Company) Arctic Radar Automatic Diver Watch for its robust build, comparing its toughness to that of the Marathon GSAR, and appreciate its preferred aesthetic and smooth bezel action. One owner reports accuracy of +3 seconds per day. Some owners note fixed springbars as a potential drawback. On balance, owners rate the CWC (Cabot Watch Company) Arctic Radar Automatic Diver Watch highly for its cool factor and military connection, deeming it a very solid watch.

Squale Super-Squale

Owners widely praise the Squale Super-Squale for its comfortable 38mm case, vintage skin diver aesthetic, and outstanding build quality for the price, with many highlighting the beads-of-rice bracelet as a standout feature and finding it a great value "go anywhere, do anything" watch. Some owners note the stock strap is not ideal and consider alternative strap options, while one enthusiast finds the 38mm case with 18mm lug width wears small. Accuracy of the Sellita SW200-1 movement is reported as ±7–20 seconds per day, which is considered not impressive by today's standards, though adequate for reliability and serviceability. Overall, owners rate the Squale Super-Squale highly for its vintage charm, comfortable wearability, and excellent value.
