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.

Glycine Airman Worldtimer GMT Dual Time

Owners widely praise the Glycine Airman Worldtimer GMT Dual Time for its comfortable 40mm size, attractive aesthetics, blue GMT hand, sapphire crystal with blue AR coating, and locking bezel. Some owners find it a significant improvement over previous Airman models, with one reporting good timekeeping. However, the dual 24-hour and GMT hands are noted by some as making local time setting less intuitive than a purist 24-hour dial. On balance, owners and reviewers appreciate the Glycine Airman Worldtimer GMT Dual Time for its comfortable wearability and classic design elements.
