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.

Lorca MODEL No.1 GMT

Owners and reviewers widely praise the Lorca MODEL No.1 GMT for its 36mm size and 11.2mm thinness, vintage-inspired design, and crisp finishing. The champagne sunburst dial and integrated bracelet are frequently highlighted as attractive elements. Some owners note the bezel font as a detractor, and a reviewer points out the lume is insignificant. The watch uses a caller GMT movement, and one owner finds the small crown impractical to manipulate. Accuracy is reported as within +/- 4 seconds per day, and it features 20 ATM water resistance. Overall, owners and reviewers appreciate the Lorca MODEL No.1 GMT for its refined design and compact dimensions, though some question its value proposition for an emerging brand.
