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.

Resco RTAC GMT - DLC

Owners widely praise the Resco RTAC GMT - DLC for its quality, durability, and robust build, fitting well with an outdoorsy lifestyle. The watch features red accents on the seconds and GMT hands, an internal dive bezel, and double screw-down crowns. One owner inquired about the canvas strap's fit for smaller wrists. On balance, owners rate the Resco RTAC GMT - DLC highly for its ruggedness and quality suitable for all activities.
