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.

Citizen Atomic Perpetual A-T

Owners widely praise the Citizen Atomic Perpetual A-T for its handsome appearance, solid fit and finish, comfortable bracelet, and intuitive world time function. Its perpetual calendar and atomic timekeeping are highlighted as major conveniences, maintaining accuracy within 0.5 seconds even without syncing, and owners appreciate its "set & forget" nature and solar charging. The watch features a modest, stylish blue dial with delicate design details and a clutter-free layout, along with high water resistance without a screw-down crown and light titanium construction. Some find the dial unnecessarily busy, and its time zone functionality is noted as less useful outside the US, with atomic sync being less compelling below the equator. Accuracy is reported as +/-15 seconds per month if not syncing, but +/-0 seconds if it syncs via radio signal. Some find the watch a bit on the large side.
