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.

Cincinnati Watch Company The Cincinnatus Blue

Owners widely praise the Cincinnati Watch Company The Cincinnatus Blue for its versatile design, pleasant manual winding action, and the value offered by its Sellita SW200-2 automatic movement, especially considering its USA assembly. The textured dial, often described as a "sandpaper dial" that shines in the sun, along with applied numerals and dark blue hands, are frequently highlighted as attractive features. Its 38mm or 39mm diameter and 47mm lug-to-lug dimensions are noted for good wearability on smaller wrists, though one owner found it necessary to remove four links for a proper fit. The lume is described as legible but dim. Overall, owners rate the Cincinnati Watch Company The Cincinnatus Blue highly for its distinctive dial and value at the price point.
