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.

Longines HYDROCONQUEST

Owners widely praise the Longines HydroConquest's dial and finishing, with one owner finding it superior to a Rolex Submariner. The movement is noted as well-regulated, losing about 2 seconds per day. The watch is considered a versatile everyday or business-casual option, offering good value. However, owners criticize the bracelet for lacking tool-less micro-adjustment and describe winding the crown as a nuisance. Some in the line report tiny GMT markers that are difficult to read and the absence of a quick date adjust feature. Overall, owners rate the Longines HydroConquest highly for its finishing and value.
