What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

CWC G10 Fatboy-80 Quartz Re-Issue Watch

Owners widely praise the CWC G10 Fatboy-80 Quartz Re-Issue Watch for its 36mm size and comfortable, "chunky" wearability, with one owner calling it their "perfect watch." The bead-blasted stainless steel case, fixed spring bars, and acrylic crystal that scratches but buffs out are noted features. Some enthusiasts point out the dial's "T" marking alongside Super-LumiNova as a detail difference from originals, and one owner found the reissue's crystal magnified the dial more. The 50m water resistance is considered sufficient for its field watch purpose. On balance, owners rate the CWC G10 Fatboy-80 Quartz Re-Issue Watch highly for its comfortable wearability and distinct dial at its price point.

Fortis Flieger F-43 Bicompax

Owners widely praise the Fortis Original for its tool-watch aesthetic, legibility, and robust construction, with many noting excellent lume that lasts all night and precise day/date changes at midnight. The brushed stainless steel case is well-finished, and the 38mm size is considered comfortable and well-weighted despite being smaller than modern watches. Accuracy figures range from +2 seconds/day to +8 seconds/day, and some owners compare Fortis quality favorably to Omega. However, some users find the MSRP too high compared to brands like Sinn and Damasko, and one owner reported internal parts dislodging from a limited edition model. Concerns have also been raised about stripped lug screws on B-42 models and potential parts shortages due to past bankruptcy protection filings. Overall, owners rate the Fortis Original highly for its durable construction and tool-watch functionality at a competitive price point.
