What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Fortis Marinemaster M-40

Owners praise the Fortis Amber Orange for its gorgeous appearance and strong wrist presence, noting its crazy lume and 70-hour power reserve. The Doxa SUB 300T, described as having a superb, eccentric design with a highly legible dial and functional no-decompression bezel, uses an ETA 2824-2 movement. However, the SUB 300T's 42.5mm case wears large and its 14mm thickness is not ideal for dress shirts, though it boasts 1,200m water resistance. On balance, owners appreciate the Fortis Amber Orange for its striking aesthetics and impressive lume.

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.
