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.

Studio Underd0g Desert Sky (Gen3)

Owners widely praise the Studio Underd0g Desert Sky (Gen3) for its vibrant blue dial that exhibits depth and liveliness under varying light, its fun and creative design, and its value as a mechanical chronograph. The Seagull 1901 movement provides column-wheel chronograph functionality, with one owner reporting accuracy around +6 seconds per day and satisfying chronograph pusher feel. However, the watch is criticized for a highly reflective, overly domed crystal and weak lume. Some owners find the 13.6mm thickness to be substantial. On balance, owners rate the Studio Underd0g Desert Sky (Gen3) highly for its engaging dial and value proposition as a mechanical chronograph.
