What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Bremont Altitude Chronograph

Owners note faint marks on the case sides and back, with minor wear and creasing on the strap. Reviewers flag the "DANGER EJECTION SEAT" wordmark on the dial as a divisive design choice that disrupts the MB series' usual stark tone, though they praise the improved smoothness and click precision of the Roto Click rotating bezel. On balance, the Bremont Altitude Chronograph elicits mixed reactions, with design elements like the dial text being a point of contention for reviewers.

CWC SBS Black Ice Quartz Watch

Owners widely praise the CWC SBS Black Ice Quartz Watch for its legible, uncluttered dial, excellent Super-LumiNova lume, and robust build quality, noting its comfortable 12mm thickness and durable PVD coating. The bezel action is described as having zero back play, and the fixed lugs are appreciated for easy strap changes. One owner reported the lume is readable throughout the night, while another flagged a faulty mechanism requiring replacement and poor retailer customer service. The £700 price is considered high by some compared to similar quartz divers, leading to questions about its value. Overall, owners rate the CWC SBS Black Ice Quartz Watch highly for its bombproof, toolish design and practical aesthetics.
