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.

Geckota Pioneer Special Edition

Owners widely praise the Geckota Pioneer for its retro-futuristic design and quality build at £349, with one owner noting excellent lume comparable to Panerai and a striking dial that shifts with light. The textured black honeycomb dial and 200m water resistance are also highlighted as strong points. However, some find the 14mm thickness a bit tall, and the NH 35 movement is considered unexciting by some. One owner points out that the thin cross-hair on the dial can be difficult to see from a distance. Overall, owners rate the Geckota Pioneer highly for its distinctive vintage space-age design and strong value proposition.
