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 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.

Helgray Superfast Automatic - Silver Panda

The Helgray Superfast Automatic - Silver Panda is praised for its attractive, timeless panda aesthetic and value, featuring a reliable Seiko VK64 mecaquartz movement and sapphire crystal. However, its wearability is described as bulky and boxy, the lume is disappointing, lasting only 5-10 minutes, and the chronograph pusher action is slightly stiff. On balance, owners appreciate the Helgray Superfast Automatic - Silver Panda for its appealing panda dial and value proposition.
