What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

CWC RN Quartz Divers Watch Mk.2, Matte Top

Owners widely praise the CWC RN Quartz Divers Watch Mk.2, Matte Top for its excellent matte case finishing, precise seconds hand alignment, and dial reminiscent of vintage military watches. The Mk.2 upgrades, including a sapphire crystal, improved lume, and a precise 120-click bezel described as perfection with no play, are consistently highlighted as significant improvements over earlier versions. One owner noted the quartz movement gained 8 seconds over several months. Overall, owners rate the CWC RN Quartz Divers Watch Mk.2, Matte Top highly for its solid construction, military significance, and terrific value.

Dan Henry 1972

Owners widely praise the Dan Henry 1972 Maverick for its cool retro style, 12-hour chronograph, sapphire crystal, and comfortable 40mm-equivalent wearability. The distinct chrono pusher clicks and the unique ability to turn off the running seconds are also noted strengths. However, the lume is not bright or evenly applied, and the alarm feature is considered poorly executed, with a quiet, short-lived alarm and a difficult-to-use pusher. One owner reported a negative customer service experience involving a dead quartz movement. Overall, owners rate the Dan Henry 1972 highly for its retro styling and value despite noted shortcomings in its lume and alarm functionality.
