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 Mako 4

Owners widely praise Zelos' dial finishing, with specific admiration for blued markers and hands, and the unique titanium bezel insert. Reviewers highlight the Mako 4's impressive case finishing and fully lumed ceramic bezel for its price point, noting the boxed sapphire crystal and wavy dial texture contribute to a vintage feel. The Sellita SW200 movement is described as reliable, with one owner reporting accuracy of -0.3 seconds per day. However, the crown can be difficult to grip, and the winding mechanism offers resistance when screwing down, while the watch's height may hinder wearability under a suit cuff. The tropic rubber strap is considered excellent, in contrast to a stiff leather option. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Zelos Mako 4 highly for its exceptional dial and case finishing at its price point.
