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.

Seiko Presage Sharp Edged Series

The Seiko Presage Sharp Edged Series is widely lauded for its sharp, angular case design and the intricate finishing of its dials, often featuring traditional Japanese motifs like the Asanoha pattern. Owners and reviewers consistently highlight the beautiful interplay of polished and hairline finishes on the case and bracelet, the use of sapphire crystals, and a robust 100m water resistance. The collection is powered by reliable in-house automatic movements, with many models featuring the 6R35 movement offering a 70-hour power reserve. Some specific models are noted for their refined finishing and updated case facets, while the 24-hour sub-dial on certain variants is considered a niche complication. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Seiko Presage Sharp Edged Series highly for its striking design and quality finishing at its price point.
