Elliot Brown ARNE: CALI 606vsSheffield Allsport Diver 1

Elliot Brown ARNE: CALI 606 owners praise its good looks, solid construction, and 38mm case size. The 52mm lug-to-lug dimension is cited as a reason for its lack of popularity, and the quartz movement is considered inexpensive for its $500 price point, though the anti-shock system is appreciated. On balance, owners appreciate the watch's build and aesthetics, but note its lug-to-lug measurement and quartz movement as drawbacks at its price.

Owners widely praise the Sheffield Allsport Diver 1 for its superb quality and sturdiness at an affordable price, with one owner noting its scratch resistance despite heavy use. The blue dial is a particular highlight, and the watch is considered a substantial upgrade from entry-level options. Some owners note the bezel action could be crisper, and the lack of a quick-set date is a functional drawback for some. One owner found the caseback exceptionally difficult to remove during servicing. Overall, owners rate the Sheffield Allsport Diver 1 highly for its surprising quality and appearance at its price point.
