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.

Sternglas Tachymeter

The Sternglas Tachymeter is praised for its sporty chronograph design and wrist presence, offering character without being an overt tool watch. Reviewers note it as an improvement over its predecessor, featuring an upscale design with a colored aluminum bezel insert and more colorful dial options. It utilizes the Seiko VK63 meca-quartz movement, is accurate to ±20 seconds per month, and boasts a three-year battery life, all at a competitive price of €389. The Sternglas Tachymeter is considered good value for its design, functionality, and small-brand cachet, offering a charming youthfulness. One reviewer noted that the "orange" on one model appeared yellow, and suggested a tachymeter scale extending to 200 instead of 500 would be more useful. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Sternglas Tachymeter highly for its value and appealing, youthful chronograph design.
