Owners + reviewers, side by side
Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.
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.
Owners widely praise the Longines Master Collection for its excellent value, refined design, and high-quality finishing, with specific mentions of beautiful dials featuring engraved Breguet numerals and attractive vintage aesthetics. The watch is noted for its dressy feel and classic styling, with some owners preferring its wearability to other collections. However, some reviewers flag the subdial cutting off numerals, uninspiring crown and pushers on certain chronograph models, and a lack of micro-adjustments on the bracelet. Other owners find the case finishing homogenous and dial printing less refined, and the collection's traditional styling is sometimes seen as less popular than sportier alternatives. Accuracy figures are not consistently reported across sources, and water resistance is noted as 30m on one variant. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Longines Master Collection highly for its refined design and exceptional value, particularly for its dress watch offerings.
The watch's lug-to-lug fit of 44.75mm is a notable combination with its 38.5mm width, making it suitable for smaller wrists. The Longines MASTER COLLECTION's annual calendar function can be finicky, requiring occasional manual adjustments to keep it accurate. Reviewers disagree on the watch's case size, with one reviewer mentioning 40mm and another mentioning 42mm.
