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.

HELM Togiak Scout

Owners widely praise the HELM Togiak Scout for its impeccable build quality and top-flight customer service, noting it wears smaller than its specifications suggest and offers great visibility in water. Some owners across the HELM line flag slightly misaligned bezels, and a few find the watches unnecessarily thick. The HELM Togiak Scout is priced at $285. Overall, owners rate the HELM Togiak Scout highly for its solid tool watch construction and wearability at the price.
