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.

Traska Commuter Carbon Black

The Traska Commuter Carbon Black is widely praised for its excellent fit and finish, with owners noting its build quality rivals significantly more expensive watches. Its proprietary hardening coating offers notable scratch resistance, and the slim 10.5mm case and comfortable bracelet with toolless micro-adjustment contribute to its wearability. The Miyota 9039 movement powers the watch, and one reviewer noted its accuracy at -10/+20 seconds per day. Some owners find the bracelet potentially too large for wrists under 6.5 inches, and one griped about coarse brushing on the hands and initial stiffness in the crown threading. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Traska Commuter Carbon Black highly for its exceptional value and robust finishing.
