What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

CWC SBS Black Ice Quartz Watch

Owners widely praise the CWC SBS Black Ice Quartz Watch for its legible, uncluttered dial, excellent Super-LumiNova lume, and robust build quality, noting its comfortable 12mm thickness and durable PVD coating. The bezel action is described as having zero back play, and the fixed lugs are appreciated for easy strap changes. One owner reported the lume is readable throughout the night, while another flagged a faulty mechanism requiring replacement and poor retailer customer service. The £700 price is considered high by some compared to similar quartz divers, leading to questions about its value. Overall, owners rate the CWC SBS Black Ice Quartz Watch highly for its bombproof, toolish design and practical aesthetics.

Boldr Globetrotter GMT

The Boldr Globetrotter GMT is praised for its legibility and finishing, featuring applied Super-LumiNova indices and sword hands on a matte black or sunburst blue dial. Reviewers highlight the ceramic bezel's sharp city markings and tight, smooth ratcheting action. The 44mm 316L stainless steel case exhibits a non-traditional design with radial and vertical brushing.
