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.

Spinnaker Dumas Automatic

Owners widely praise the Spinnaker Dumas Automatic for its attractive textured blue dial, applied indices, and well-finished case, noting its comfortable wearability due to a short lug-to-lug distance. Some owners flag the use of mineral crystal instead of sapphire and a bracelet with a learning curve and loose keeper. Overall, owners rate the Spinnaker Dumas Automatic highly for its aesthetics and case finishing at its price point.
