What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Citizen Promaster Diver

Owners widely praise the Citizen Promaster Diver for its lightweight titanium construction, comfortable wear, and excellent specifications for its price, with one owner noting handsome dial construction from recycled materials and accuracy of +1 second in 7 days. Some owners find its brushed finish unremarkable, its bezel action mediocre, and its rotor loud, while one example showed a slightly misaligned bezel and chapter ring. On balance, owners rate the Citizen Promaster Diver highly for its lightweight titanium build and strong value proposition.

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.
