Reviews

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 matte finish, precise seconds hand alignment, and old-school dial and hands reminiscent of vintage Omega. The Mk.2 upgrades, including a sapphire crystal, improved lume, and a precise 120-click bezel described as "perfection," are consistently highlighted. Some owners consider its toolish design and comfortable 11mm thickness a significant draw. However, a few find the £700-£900 price point high for a quartz watch, and one owner reported chipping on the PVD finish after a few months. One owner also noted the Ronda 517 quartz movement gained 8 seconds over several months. Overall, owners rate the CWC RN Quartz Divers Watch Mk.2, Matte Top highly for its robust, military-inspired design and significant Mk.2 upgrades at the price.

DOXA SUB 600T

Owners and reviewers praise the DOXA SUB 600T for its unique, angular, brutalist design and variety of saturated dial colorways. Its tactile bezel action, improved lume over earlier models, and grippy crown are also frequently highlighted. However, the watch's case back is widely criticized for its excessive height, causing it to wear top-heavy and shift on the wrist, with some owners questioning its wearability on smaller wrists. The Sellita SW200-1 movement's 38-hour power reserve is also noted as a shortcoming by several reviewers. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the DOXA SUB 600T highly for its purposeful, utilitarian aesthetic and robust build, despite concerns regarding its wearability due to the case back design.

From video reviewers

The DOXA SUB 600T's angular case design and robust brushed finish are notable features. The watch's price point is relatively high compared to its competitors. Reviewers disagree on the watch's water resistance, with one reviewer noting it's somewhat limited, while the other reviewer doesn't mention this.
