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.

anOrdain Model 1

Owners and reviewers widely praise the anOrdain Model 2 for its exquisite, handmade Grand Feu enamel dial, custom typeface, and syringe hands, calling it a standout feature. The 36mm steel case is noted as a thoughtful, comfortable complement to the dial, and the smooth winding action of the Sellita SW-210-1 hand-wound movement is appreciated. Some find the 5atm water resistance limiting, and the anti-reflective coating can be prone to glare. The 18mm strap width is also mentioned as potentially limiting for strap enthusiasts. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the anOrdain Model 2 highly for its stunning enamel dial and elegant, versatile design.
