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.

Tissot PRX

The Tissot PRX is widely praised for its exceptional finishing, comfortable wearability, and strong value proposition, with owners and reviewers highlighting its luxurious feel for the price. The integrated bracelet, often noted for its shine, finishing, and brushed surfaces with polished edges, is a significant draw, as is the watch's neo-vintage aesthetic and refined dial pattern. The slim case profile, measuring around 10.5mm to 11mm depending on the source, contributes to its comfortable daily wear, and the 100m water resistance is a practical feature. While one owner reported specific issues with a PRX Chronograph's hands and quality control after service, other sources focus on the Powermatic 80's reliable automatic movement and the overall joy of wearing the Tissot PRX. Some find sizing the bracelet challenging due to the lack of a micro-adjustment option.

From video reviewers

The Powermatic 80 movement with its 80-hour power reserve is consistently praised. The lume brightness is noted as a weakness. Reviewers disagree on the suitability of the lug-to-lug fit for smaller wrists.
