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.

NOMOS Glashütte Metro neomatik midnight blue

The NOMOS Glashütte Metro neomatik midnight blue is widely praised for its clean, enduring Germanic design and 35mm case that offers excellent wrist presence, fitting neatly under a cuff. Reviewers highlight the exquisite dial and the slim, efficient, in-house DUW 3001 automatic movement. Owners note that Nomos designs tend to make smaller watches wear larger, though some may initially presume the 35mm size is too small. One owner of a related variant found the quasi-quick-set date annoying when the watch frequently runs down. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the NOMOS Glashütte Metro neomatik midnight blue highly for its slim, well-made movement and classic, wrist-friendly design.
