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.

Shiro Kara Daibāzu: Hulk SUB

Owners widely praise the Shiro Kara Daibāzu: Hulk SUB for its dial printing, date wheel, and bezel action. One owner confirmed the watch remained waterproof after five days. However, some owners report minor issues such as a slightly off-centered 12 marker or dissatisfaction with bracelet quality, while another felt the crystal was not the best but still looked great. Overall, owners rate the Shiro Kara Daibāzu: Hulk SUB highly for its strong dial and bezel presentation at the price point.
