What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

CWC Automatic Divers Watch Mk.2 Black

Owners widely praise the CWC Automatic Divers Watch Mk.2 Black for its brushed chapter ring, precise 120-click bezel, clear sapphire crystal, excellent case finishing, and significantly improved lume. The watch is considered a terrific value with solid construction. Some owners express a preference for a matte finish for a more tool-like appearance, though polished versions offer a dressier look and easier scratch removal. On balance, owners rate the CWC Automatic Divers Watch Mk.2 Black highly for its tool-like features and excellent value.

From video reviewers

The bezel action is smooth. The price has increased due to popularity.

Pagani Design PD-1778

Owners widely praise the Pagani Design PD-1778 for appearing more attractive in person than in promotional images, with specific commendations for its dial color, anti-reflective coating, and case finishing relative to its price. However, the dial's font and branding are frequently disliked, with a preference for a simple logo. Some owners find the watch to be slightly too large and report difficulties with strap compatibility. Overall, owners rate the Pagani Design PD-1778 highly for its aesthetic appeal and finishing at the price point, despite some reservations about the dial text and case dimensions.
