What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

CWC Tamar Quartz Divers Watch

Owners widely appreciate the CWC RN Diver's historical significance and vintage aesthetic, with one owner specifically noting the pleasing click of the bezel. However, some owners find the £900 price point unjustified for a quartz watch with average finishing and faux indices, with one reporting a case polish mark and chipping after a few months. Another owner finds the CWC GS a versatile and reliable field watch, though its size may be an issue for those with larger wrists. On balance, owners find the CWC RN Diver appealing for its historical nods and design, though some question its value proposition at the current price.

Timefactors PRS-40

Owners widely praise the Timefactors PRS-40 for its unique, "badass" and rugged, futuristic design, with many highlighting the 12 o'clock crown as a distinctive and appreciated feature. The bead-blasted finish is noted to show light marks but resists deep scratches, and the sapphire crystal is considered good. While some owners find the 40.2mm case size acceptable, others describe the watch as large and wearing big, though it is noted to wear thinner than an automatic version. The fixed lugs necessitate the use of NATO straps, and the included strap is well-regarded. On balance, owners rate the Timefactors PRS-40 highly for its distinctive, bombproof design and unique crown placement at an accessible price point.
