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.

Tissot PRC 100 Solar

Owners and reviewers highlight the Tissot PRC 100 Solar's value and modern, urban aesthetic, with its slim 9.2mm case and good finishing for the price. The solar movement is a key feature, offering a 14-month power reserve and rapid charging capabilities. Some owners find the dial colors a bit uninspired, and the date window placement is disliked, while the second hand's ticking is noted as a drawback compared to automatic movements. The watch's 39mm case is considered versatile, though some prefer a smaller 35-37mm size. Overall, owners and reviewers consider the Tissot PRC 100 Solar a versatile daily wear, particularly for its solar technology and Swiss-made appeal at its price point.
