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.

Tissot PR516

Owners and reviewers widely praise the Tissot PR516 for its vintage-inspired dial, robust case finishing, and the horological substance offered at its price point, with some noting its 38mm size and historical connections as highlights. The manual-wind movement is frequently cited for its 68-hour power reserve and modern technology. However, the watch's 14mm thickness and substantial lug-to-lug distance are noted as potentially making it wear large on smaller wrists. Some owners find the dial bland and the fixed bezel disappointing, while others criticize the basic stamped clasp and simplistic movement finishing visible through the display caseback. On balance, owners and reviewers consider the Tissot PR516 a compelling heritage-inspired sports watch, particularly for its value and vintage motorsport aesthetic.

From video reviewers
