Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

CWC SBS Divers Issue Quartz Watch Mk.2 Day/Date

The CWC SBS Divers Issue Quartz Watch Mk.2 Day/Date is widely praised for its exceptional legibility, particularly its dial design and thickly applied Super-LumiNova that remains readable all night. Owners appreciate its robust, toolish, bombproof design and comfortable wearability, with one noting its 11mm thickness and smaller wear size. The PVD finish withstands significant abuse. The Ronda movement is considered to have consistent second-hand movement. Some find its £700 price steep, especially compared to less expensive quartz divers, and fixed spring bars are noted as a drawback. Customer service is also flagged as potentially lacking by some. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the CWC SBS Divers Issue Quartz Watch Mk.2 Day/Date highly for its military aesthetics, legibility, and robust, comfortable tool-watch build.

Farer Discovery II

The Farer Discovery II is widely praised for its comfortable 39.5mm wearability, suiting all wrist sizes and occasions, and its bold plum sunburst dial, which exhibits varied color interpretations. Owners also highlight the excellent case and bracelet design, with one noting it is a "dream to wear." The La Joux Perret G101 automatic movement provides a 68-hour power reserve. On balance, owners rate the Farer Discovery II highly for its comfortable wearability and attractive dial at the price.
