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.

Orient Bambino Version 7

Owners and reviewers widely praise the Orient Bambino Version 7 for its exceptional value, with its dial quality and case finishing often noted as punching above its price point. The F6724 automatic movement is appreciated for its hacking and hand-winding capabilities, and wearability is generally considered good. However, the mineral crystal is flagged as prone to scratching, and one owner reported the movement can be noisy and the crown stem feels less secure. The stock strap is also frequently criticized as being of poor quality. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Orient Bambino Version 7 highly for its vintage-inspired design and impressive dial and case finishing at its affordable price.

From video reviewers

The 38.4mm case size is ideal for most wrists. Reviewers noted the domed crystal as a standout design element.
