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.

Vario NAVI RedBar SG (Limited Edition)

Owners widely praise the Vario NAVI RedBar SG (Limited Edition) for its unique single-hand time display, captivating dial featuring a wave pattern and red tiger eye stone with subtle striations, and Art Deco numerals. The 38mm stainless steel case, double-domed sapphire crystal, and German leather strap contribute to a comfortable and elegant build, with the watch weighing 74g. Some users find the varied font sizes on the dial distracting, while others appreciate the cool style and dial colors. One owner suggests reworking the sub-dial's seconds hand and track for a less sporty look, and another felt the English text and font balance were not ideal. Overall, owners rate the Vario NAVI RedBar SG (Limited Edition) highly for its unique dial and comfortable wear at an affordable price.
