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.

Vario 1918 SG60 Merlion Trench

The Vario 1918 SG60 Merlion Trench is widely seen as a commemorative keepsake, particularly for those celebrating Singapore's 60th anniversary or born in 1965. Reviewers note its vibrant red enamel dial and 37mm steel case with fixed wire lugs, along with 100m water resistance. One owner reported the watch is "patina-ing well" after three years, and the Miyota 82S5 movement is considered a reliable, cost-effective base. Overall, owners and reviewers appreciate the Vario 1918 SG60 Merlion Trench as a unique souvenir and tribute piece, with its distinctive enamel dial being a key draw.
