What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

CWC G40 Quartz Watch

Owners widely praise the CWC G40 Quartz Watch for its robust 20atm water resistance and domed sapphire crystal, with one owner finding the faux patina subtle and natural. However, some find the dial proportions of the 40mm model to have too much negative space and ill-proportioned numerals. On balance, owners appreciate the CWC G40 Quartz Watch for its rugged build and grab-and-go reliability.

CWC SBS Black Ice Quartz Watch

Owners widely praise the CWC SBS Black Ice Quartz Watch for its legible, uncluttered dial, excellent Super-LumiNova lume, and robust build quality, noting its comfortable 12mm thickness and durable PVD coating. The bezel action is described as having zero back play, and the fixed lugs are appreciated for easy strap changes. One owner reported the lume is readable throughout the night, while another flagged a faulty mechanism requiring replacement and poor retailer customer service. The £700 price is considered high by some compared to similar quartz divers, leading to questions about its value. Overall, owners rate the CWC SBS Black Ice Quartz Watch highly for its bombproof, toolish design and practical aesthetics.
