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 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.

Boldr Expedition II

Owners widely praise the Boldr Expedition II for its tool watch utility, legible dials, and bead-blasted finish, with many finding its 41mm size ideal for daily wear and comfortable on various wrists. Reviewers and owners alike highlight its excellent value, well-executed details, and the functional design of its knurled crown. Some owners note the dial color can appear creamier than expected online, and one reviewer found the stock rubber strap to be a minor criticism. The Sellita SW200 movement and domed sapphire crystal are also noted as positive features. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Boldr Expedition II highly for its functional field watch design and excellent value.

From video reviewers

The Boldr Expedition II's solid construction and reliability are notable strengths. A weakness is the potential for dim lume brightness, as the entire dial is fully covered in lume but the reviewer's assessment implies it might be inadequate.
