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.

Vario VERSA Reversible Dual Time

Owners widely praise the Vario VERSA Reversible Dual Time for its satisfying reversible mechanism, excellent polishing, crisp dial printing, and exceptional value for a dual-face watch. Reviewers and owners alike highlight its novel reversible design, attractive Art Deco-inspired aesthetic, and the value it offers at its price point. Some owners also commend Vario's customer service. The 12mm thickness is a point of discussion, with some finding it surprisingly wearable due to its stepped case and curved bevels, while others note it as a concern due to the dual-watch construction. One reviewer points out the need to remove the watch to switch faces and the potential for smudging on the hidden side. The lack of lume on one dial is seen as a missed opportunity by one owner. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Vario VERSA Reversible Dual Time highly for its clever, well-executed reversible case design and appealing price point.
