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.

Venezianico Nereide Ametista

Venezianico Nereide Ametista owners widely praise its striking amethyst-purple dial and proportions, with particular appreciation for the durable tungsten bezel, which is noted as highly resistant to scratches. The bracelet and bezel action also receive consistent positive remarks for their feel and functionality. The watch is frequently highlighted as an excellent choice for a first true dive watch, with its Italian manufacturing and development adding to its appeal. On balance, owners rate the Venezianico Nereide Ametista highly for its distinctive dial and robust, well-executed bezel at its price point.

From video reviewers

The 120-click unidirectional tungsten bezel is a strong point, offering excellent durability. The lume brightness could be improved, as the BGW9 Super-LumiNova is not as bright as some other watches in its class. Reviewers disagree on the standout feature of the watch, with one highlighting the unique dial and the other the sporty yet refined presence of the 42 mm stainless steel case.
