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.

Tissot Supersport Chrono Basketball Edition

The Tissot Supersport Chrono Basketball Edition is widely regarded as a good-looking chronograph offering solid value for its price, benefiting from Tissot's reputable brand standing. Owners note its reliable quartz movement and overall construction. However, some find the Tissot Supersport Chrono Basketball Edition to be noticeably large and heavy, with dimensions around 44-45mm and a 50mm lug-to-lug, making it potentially awkward on smaller wrists. The chronograph function is limited to 30 minutes. Overall, owners rate the Tissot Supersport Chrono Basketball Edition highly for its attractive design and strong value proposition.
