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 MASTER COLLECTION

Owners widely praise the Longines Master Collection for its attractive designs, heritage feel, and value, with specific models highlighted for their legibility and manageable sizes. One owner finds the 40mm moonphase chronograph complete calendar mesmerizing and versatile at around $1700, while another appreciates the 38mm World Timer's looks and blue hands. A drawback noted across different models is limited water resistance, with one owner selling their watch due to this, and the World Timer disc requiring manual adjustment for daylight saving time in some areas. On balance, owners rate the Longines Master Collection highly for its aesthetic appeal and value proposition, despite some limitations in water resistance and functionality.
