Reviews

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

CWC Automatic Divers Watch Mk.2 Black with Date

Owners widely praise the CWC Automatic Divers Watch Mk.2 Black with Date for its brushed chapter ring, precise 120-click bezel, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, excellent case finishing, and improved lume. Reviewers highlight its classic, highly legible dial design and durable black PVD coating. Some users note a price increase over previous models, and the day/date function is considered by some to be a "vexing" addition. The watch is recognized for its historical significance as a military instrument. Overall, owners and reviewers highly regard the CWC Automatic Divers Watch Mk.2 Black with Date for its robust build, legibility, and military heritage.

Glycine Combat Sub Box Ceramic

Owners widely praise the Glycine Combat Sub Box Ceramic for its exceptional thinness, comfortable 41mm case, and unique, non-homage design, with one owner calling it the best dive watch under $400 due to superior finishing and value. The bezel action is described as solid and precise, and the dial is legible with good lume on the hands. However, multiple sources flag inconsistent power reserve, sub-par lume on the markers that fades quickly, and a subpar stock strap or bracelet. One owner reported the bezel detaching after a light bump, raising questions about build quality, while others note potential issues with the stem or anti-reflective coating. Accuracy figures vary, with one owner seeing it run about 2.5 seconds fast per day. Overall, owners rate the Glycine Combat Sub Box Ceramic highly for its comfortable thin case and unique design at its price point.
