What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

CWC 1983 RN Divers Quartz Re-Issue Watch

Owners widely praise the CWC 1983 RN Divers Quartz Re-Issue Watch for its historically accurate reproduction, thin profile for a 300m diver, and a second hand that aligns well with indices. Reviewers note its reasonable size on smaller wrists, original dial layout with markers touching the chapter ring, and a broader minute hand. However, criticism is directed at the fixed 20mm bars necessitating specific strap types and the mismatched lume colors between hands and hour markers, with some finding the convex lume on the markers overly shiny. Overall, owners rate the CWC 1983 RN Divers Quartz Re-Issue Watch highly for its accurate vintage aesthetic and wearability.

Baltic Prismic

The Baltic Prismic is widely praised for its unique stone dials, slim 9.2mm case, and retro-chic design, with reviewers highlighting its impressive build quality and detailed finishing for the price. Owners appreciate the complex five-part case construction using steel and titanium, and the attractive dial textures. The hand-wound ETA Peseux 7001 movement is consistently mentioned, offering a 42-hour power reserve. However, some owners find the watch overpriced and the bracelet unappealing or flaring on smaller wrists, while the 30-meter water resistance is noted as delicate. The avant-garde dial design is also described as divisive by one reviewer. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Baltic Prismic highly for its distinctive stone dials and slim, vintage-inspired case at an accessible price point.

From video reviewers

The Baltic Prismic's unique natural stone dials, each using a slice of thousand-year-old stone, are a standout feature. A notable drawback is the price, with several reviewers mentioning it as a potential issue, particularly considering the finishing and uniqueness offered. Reviewers disagree on the watch's ruggedness, with some viewing it as a dress watch and others not mentioning this aspect.
