What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

CWC 1987 SBS Quartz Diver Re-Issue Watch

Owners widely report the CWC 1987 SBS Quartz Diver Re-Issue Watch as very hard-wearing, with good seconds hand alignment and perfect bezel alignment with crisp action. The lume is described as pretty good despite fauxtina, and the watch gains approximately 3 seconds per month. Some owners consider the CWC 1987 SBS Quartz Diver Re-Issue Watch overpriced, while others appreciate its bombproof, toolish design and military heritage.

Brew 8-Bit V2

The Brew 8-Bit V2 is praised for its casually elegant, versatile rectangular design that subtly balances 8-bit gaming and coffee themes, with solid build quality and finishing. Owners note the left subdial tracks 60 minutes and the right indicates day/night, with the chronograph's second hand only moving when activated. Criticisms include the lack of a seconds subdial, no lume, minor movement quirks like the chronograph minute hand jumping upon reset, and a slightly off-center yellow part on the hour hand. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Brew 8-Bit V2 highly for its unique design and solid build quality at its price point.
