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.

Orient Bambino Solar Quartz

Owners widely praise the Orient Bambino Solar Quartz for its nice finishing and value, with one owner noting it was worth the $220 spent. However, reviewers consistently flag the mineral crystal as a significant drawback, prone to scratches and abrasions. One owner reports the Orient Bambino Solar Quartz wears thinner due to its lighter movement and less robust construction. Overall, owners rate the Orient Bambino Solar Quartz highly for its finishing and value, despite the mineral crystal's susceptibility to scratches.
