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.

Seiko Prospex SPEEDTIMER Seiko 145th Anniversary Limited Edition

Owners widely praise the Prospex SPEEDTIMER Seiko 145th Anniversary Limited Edition for its refined presence and intricate dial patterns, with some favoring its unique red dial and steel bezel over other Speedtimer models. However, some owners criticize the 24-hour subdial as useless, the date window as recessed, and the stock bracelet as difficult to fit, while others find the pushers stick out too much. One owner notes the $995 price point is high for the 6R55 movement, suggesting a lower range, though others appreciate the Seiko finishing and charm. On balance, owners rate the Prospex SPEEDTIMER Seiko 145th Anniversary Limited Edition well for its unique aesthetic and finishing, despite some functional and value concerns.
