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.

Marathon Steel Navigator SSNAV-D Quartz

The Marathon Steel Navigator SSNAV-D Quartz is widely praised for its high-accuracy Swiss Made ETA F06.412 HeavyDrive-PreciDrive quartz movement, rated at +/- 10 seconds per year, and its tritium lume. Reviewers and owners highlight its functional tool-watch appeal, noting the sandblasted steel case with an asymmetric design, excellent bi-directional bezel action, and drilled lug holes. Some owners find it perfectly suited for sport/rugged use, though not necessarily as an everyday watch. One owner points out that the case's distinctive asymmetry deviates from current aesthetic trends. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Marathon Steel Navigator SSNAV-D Quartz highly for its robust build and exceptional timekeeping accuracy at its price point.
