What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Farer GMT BEZEL

Owners widely praise the Farer GMT BEZEL for its enthusiastic color combinations, wearable dimensions, and impressive fit and finish for the price. Reviewers highlight its great utility with 200m water resistance, a vintage-charm bubble crystal, and comfortable wearability due to its 12.5mm thickness and short lug-to-lug. Some owners find the white dial's legibility lacking due to polished hands, and one noted the bezel does not glow, though the blue dial version features a lumed bezel. The GMT movement is described as a caller-style by one reviewer, and opinions on its overall value place it from luxury-rivaling to mid-tier. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Farer GMT BEZEL highly for its unique design and excellent value at its price point.

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.
