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.

Geckota Pioneer Special Edition

Owners widely praise the Geckota Pioneer for its retro-futuristic design and quality build at £349, with one owner noting excellent lume comparable to Panerai and a striking dial that shifts with light. The textured black honeycomb dial and 200m water resistance are also highlighted as strong points. However, some find the 14mm thickness a bit tall, and the NH 35 movement is considered unexciting by some. One owner points out that the thin cross-hair on the dial can be difficult to see from a distance. Overall, owners rate the Geckota Pioneer highly for its distinctive vintage space-age design and strong value proposition.
