What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

CWC E9 Quartz Diver Watch

The CWC E9 Quartz Diver Watch is praised for its historical significance, unique Jolly Roger dial, and military-spec build. Owners report it is thin, small, very legible, and has a satisfyingly easy-to-wind crown, with some noting its accuracy and clean lume application. However, the luminous paint on the Jolly Roger is described as low glow, and one owner reported their T20 model had an inaccurate quartz movement and a soft acrylic crystal that scratches easily. Some find the Jolly Roger design "out there," while others like its unique aesthetic. Some feel it is overpriced for its components, particularly the standard Ronda movement. Overall, owners rate the CWC E9 Quartz Diver Watch highly for its unique aesthetic and military-inspired build.

Dan Henry 1937

On balance, owners have mixed feelings about the Dan Henry 1937, with some finding its dial less appealing than expected while others praise its understated military aesthetic.

From video reviewers

The Dan Henry Gold 1962 Racing Chronograph features a mecha-quartz movement, specifically the Seiko VK63, which is appreciated by reviewers. The watch's two-tone steel and yellow gold finish may be a "hit or miss" from Dan Henry, suggesting it may not be universally well-received. Reviewers disagree on whether the mecha-quartz movement is a drawback, with one reviewer noting it may not appeal to those seeking a purely mechanical movement, while others may not have mentioned this as a concern.
