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.

Tissot Heritage 1938

Owners and reviewers widely praise the Tissot Heritage 1938 for its stunning vintage-inspired design and excellent value, particularly as a COSC-certified automatic under $1000. The dial's ability to catch light and subtly change colors, along with rosy gold numerals, is a frequent highlight. The watch uses a chronometer-certified ETA 2824-2 movement, though its 38-hour power reserve is noted as less than some contemporary offerings. Some owners find the 39mm case size appears larger on the wrist, with a desire for smaller options. Overall, owners rate the Tissot Heritage 1938 highly for its charming retro aesthetics and impressive chronometer movement at an accessible price point.

From video reviewers

The most attainable Swiss chronometer is a key strength. Reviewers did not agree on any weaknesses.
