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.

Glycine Airman GMT Dual Time

The Glycine Airman GMT Dual Time is praised for its comfortable size, attractive aesthetics, blue AR-coated sapphire crystal, and value as a "grab 'n' go" quartz piece. Owners appreciate its classic pilot design and wearability, with some finding it fits well under a shirt cuff and looks more expensive on a mesh bracelet. However, some find the dual GMT hands redundant and less intuitive than a purist 24-hour dial, with the GMT hand's similarity to the minute hand causing frustration for some. Legibility is a concern for some owners, who note the dark Arabic numerals on the black dial can be hard to see in less than ideal light, though the luminous hands are considered amazing. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Glycine Airman GMT Dual Time highly for its classic design and comfortable wearability, despite some legibility and GMT hand usability concerns.
