What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

CWC G40 Quartz Watch

Owners widely praise the CWC G40 Quartz Watch for its robust 20atm water resistance and domed sapphire crystal, with one owner finding the faux patina subtle and natural. However, some find the dial proportions of the 40mm model to have too much negative space and ill-proportioned numerals. On balance, owners appreciate the CWC G40 Quartz Watch for its rugged build and grab-and-go reliability.

Vario 1918 Trench Brass

Owners widely praise the Vario 1918 Trench Brass for its attractive, precisely made dial and case, with the evolving brass patina noted as a positive feature. The bund strap is considered comfortable and well-fitting by some, though others find it stiff and short for larger wrists. The lume is considered poor. The Miyota 82s5 movement is described as adequate, with accuracy ranging from about -10 seconds per day to simply running slow. On balance, owners rate the Vario 1918 Trench Brass highly for its fantastic looks and the unique character of its brass case.
