What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Boldr Expedition II

Owners widely praise the Boldr Expedition II for its tool watch utility, legible dials, and bead-blasted finish, with many finding its 41mm size ideal for daily wear and comfortable on various wrists. Reviewers and owners alike highlight its excellent value, well-executed details, and the functional design of its knurled crown. Some owners note the dial color can appear creamier than expected online, and one reviewer found the stock rubber strap to be a minor criticism. The Sellita SW200 movement and domed sapphire crystal are also noted as positive features. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Boldr Expedition II highly for its functional field watch design and excellent value.

From video reviewers

The Boldr Expedition II's solid construction and reliability are notable strengths. A weakness is the potential for dim lume brightness, as the entire dial is fully covered in lume but the reviewer's assessment implies it might be inadequate.

CWC SBS 1987 Aged Special

Owners widely praise the CWC SBS 1987 Aged Special for its rugged build and military heritage, with some finding its quality comparable to higher-end watches. A reviewer notes the 41mm PVD-coated watch features a bright SuperLuminova dial. One owner reports a bit of play in the 60-click bezel, present from new, alongside minor wear on the PVD coating and bezel insert. On balance, owners rate the CWC SBS 1987 Aged Special highly for its rugged build and military heritage, despite some questioning its value at £700.
