Reviews

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

CWC Automatic Divers Watch Mk.2 Black with Date

Owners widely praise the CWC (Cabot Watch Company) Automatic Divers Watch Mk.2 Black with Date for its excellent case finishing, robust 120-click bezel action, and significantly improved lume compared to previous models. Reviewers and owners alike highlight its military provenance and value as a unique daily wear, with a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and day-date complication adding to its appeal. Some owners note fixed spring bars as a potential drawback, and one reviewer found the "faux patina" lume on a similar model to be too gold and glossy. Accuracy figures vary, with one owner reporting it running 3 seconds fast per 24 hours, while another observed the minute hand lume fading faster than the rest of the dial. Overall, owners rate the CWC (Cabot Watch Company) Automatic Divers Watch Mk.2 Black with Date highly for its solid construction, military significance, and practical features at its price point.

DOXA SUB 600T

Owners and reviewers praise the DOXA SUB 600T for its unique, angular, brutalist design and variety of saturated dial colorways. Its tactile bezel action, improved lume over earlier models, and grippy crown are also frequently highlighted. However, the watch's case back is widely criticized for its excessive height, causing it to wear top-heavy and shift on the wrist, with some owners questioning its wearability on smaller wrists. The Sellita SW200-1 movement's 38-hour power reserve is also noted as a shortcoming by several reviewers. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the DOXA SUB 600T highly for its purposeful, utilitarian aesthetic and robust build, despite concerns regarding its wearability due to the case back design.

From video reviewers

The DOXA SUB 600T's angular case design and robust brushed finish are notable features. The watch's price point is relatively high compared to its competitors. Reviewers disagree on the watch's water resistance, with one reviewer noting it's somewhat limited, while the other reviewer doesn't mention this.
