What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

CWC SBS Black Ice Quartz Watch

Owners widely praise the CWC SBS Black Ice Quartz Watch for its legible, uncluttered dial, excellent Super-LumiNova lume, and robust build quality, noting its comfortable 12mm thickness and durable PVD coating. The bezel action is described as having zero back play, and the fixed lugs are appreciated for easy strap changes. One owner reported the lume is readable throughout the night, while another flagged a faulty mechanism requiring replacement and poor retailer customer service. The £700 price is considered high by some compared to similar quartz divers, leading to questions about its value. Overall, owners rate the CWC SBS Black Ice Quartz Watch highly for its bombproof, toolish design and practical aesthetics.

Boldr Expedition Enigmath

The watch's slide rule function is a convenient feature, allowing for calculations on the go. One potential drawback is the use of the Japanese Miyota 9039 movement, which may be a trade-off for some buyers. Reviewers disagree on whether the quick 'on the fly' adjust bracelet is a more significant advantage than the watch's sapphire crystal for durability and scratch resistance.
