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.

Farer TONNEAU

Owners widely praise the Farer TONNEAU's vibrant dial colors, with the green and electric blue versions both noted as particularly attractive, often paired with the tan leather strap. Reviewers and owners alike highlight its impressive 100m water resistance. The movement's color-matched rotor is a appreciated detail. However, opinions on the case design are split; some find it relatively thin and well-executed, while others criticize its soft silhouette, wide bezel, and clumsy proportions. The $1,250 price is noted. On balance, owners and reviewers appreciate the Farer TONNEAU's striking dial colors and robust water resistance, though the case design elicits mixed reactions.
