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.

Boldr Rally

Owners widely praise the Boldr Rally's compact 38mm titanium case and excellent value under A$500. The VK64 mecaquartz movement has proven reliable for years, and the sapphire crystal is a welcome feature. Some owners find the dial busy and difficult to read, particularly the black hands against the black subdial, and note the bead-blasted titanium case can be a scratch magnet. The default straps have been described as boring or not holding up to daily wear. Overall, owners rate the Boldr Rally highly for its robust titanium construction and excellent value, despite some legibility concerns.

From video reviewers

The 38mm titanium case with a 44mm lug-to-lug measurement provides a comfortable and compact fit. The 200m water resistance is noted as robust for a chronograph. The 14mm thickness was mentioned as potentially substantial for the watch's size.
