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.

Vario VERSA Reversible Dual Time

Owners widely praise the Vario VERSA Reversible Dual Time for its satisfying reversible mechanism, excellent polishing, crisp dial printing, and exceptional value for a dual-face watch. Reviewers and owners alike highlight its novel reversible design, attractive Art Deco-inspired aesthetic, and the value it offers at its price point. Some owners also commend Vario's customer service. The 12mm thickness is a point of discussion, with some finding it surprisingly wearable due to its stepped case and curved bevels, while others note it as a concern due to the dual-watch construction. One reviewer points out the need to remove the watch to switch faces and the potential for smudging on the hidden side. The lack of lume on one dial is seen as a missed opportunity by one owner. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Vario VERSA Reversible Dual Time highly for its clever, well-executed reversible case design and appealing price point.
