What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

CWC Automatic Divers Watch Mk.2 Black

Owners widely praise the CWC Automatic Divers Watch Mk.2 Black for its brushed chapter ring, precise 120-click bezel, clear sapphire crystal, excellent case finishing, and significantly improved lume. The watch is considered a terrific value with solid construction. Some owners express a preference for a matte finish for a more tool-like appearance, though polished versions offer a dressier look and easier scratch removal. On balance, owners rate the CWC Automatic Divers Watch Mk.2 Black highly for its tool-like features and excellent value.

From video reviewers

The bezel action is smooth. The price has increased due to popularity.

Sternglas Naos XL

Owners widely praise the Sternglas Naos XL for its versatile Bauhaus design, domed sapphire crystal, and value, with some finding its larger size comfortable and refined for its price. However, opinions are split on its aesthetic appeal, with one owner finding the hands and face underwhelming, while others appreciate the minimalistic dial. The date font is noted as too small to be useful by one owner, and the stock strap is generally considered basic or prone to wear. Accuracy figures vary, with one owner reporting a Miyota movement running fast and another noting +13 seconds per day. Overall, owners rate the Sternglas Naos XL highly for its Bauhaus aesthetics and affordability, despite some reservations about the movement and strap.
