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.

Zelos Aurora Field

The Zelos Aurora Field is praised for its unique and gorgeous dial, with the hammered teal bronze version and its great lume, particularly on the minute track, being singled out. Owners find the rubber strap comfortable and flexible with good hardware, and the watch is highlighted as feature-packed for its price point, including 200m water resistance, Grade 2 titanium, and 30,000 A/m anti-magnetism, with the new clasp noted as the best to date. However, some owners criticize sharp bracelet edges, an odd case shape with lugs that cause it to wear high, and dial text that appears cheap and plasticky, with one commenter finding the straight lugs look a bit off. Overall, owners rate the Zelos Aurora Field highly for its value and unique dial, despite some concerns about case and bracelet finishing.
