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 Odyssey Bronze

The Boldr Odyssey Bronze is widely praised for its robust, ship-like aesthetic and substantial feel, with its meteorite dial and OEM Horween strap highlighted as unique features. Owners feel the style, fit, finish, and specifications compensate for criticisms regarding the movements used at its price point. On balance, owners rate the Boldr Odyssey Bronze highly for its distinctive aesthetic and quality finishing.

From video reviewers

The 500m water resistance and Lumicast lume are standout features. The 45mm+ case size is a drawback for some wrists.
