Owners widely praise the CWC E9 Automatic Diver Watch for its military-spec toughness and satisfyingly easy-to-wind crown, with one owner calling it a perfect reissue due to its thin case, small size, and legibility. Some owners appreciate its durability and value as a beater or summer watch, noting its solid bars are a military requirement and highlighting its significant wrist presence and unique "Jolly Roger" dial design. Critics find the CWC E9 Automatic Diver Watch overpriced for its mineral crystal and 60-click bezel, despite its military heritage and HAQ movement, and its luminous paint is noted as low glow. Overall, owners rate the CWC E9 Automatic Diver Watch highly for its military-spec toughness and wrist presence, despite some reservations about its value proposition.

Owners widely praise the Prospex Marinemaster Seiko Diver’s Watch 60th Anniversary Limited Edition's titanium monobloc case construction and the dial's blue gradient finish. Some owners find the 45.4mm diameter and 16mm thickness too large, noting a poor dial-to-bezel ratio and excessive text on the dial. The 8L45 movement offers a 72-hour power reserve, with reported accuracy ranging from +10/-5 seconds per day to +25/-15 seconds per day. On balance, owners appreciate the watch's tool watch vibe and unique dial construction, despite some reservations about its size and price.
