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 Divers Issue Quartz Watch Mk.2 Day/Date

The CWC SBS Divers Issue Quartz Watch Mk.2 Day/Date is widely praised for its exceptional legibility, particularly its dial design and thickly applied Super-LumiNova that remains readable all night. Owners appreciate its robust, toolish, bombproof design and comfortable wearability, with one noting its 11mm thickness and smaller wear size. The PVD finish withstands significant abuse. The Ronda movement is considered to have consistent second-hand movement. Some find its £700 price steep, especially compared to less expensive quartz divers, and fixed spring bars are noted as a drawback. Customer service is also flagged as potentially lacking by some. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the CWC SBS Divers Issue Quartz Watch Mk.2 Day/Date highly for its military aesthetics, legibility, and robust, comfortable tool-watch build.

Dan Henry 1975

Owners and reviewers praise the Dan Henry 1975 for its excellent value, retro styling, attractive dial with orange accents, and thin, wearable case. The bubble crystal is a highlight, though some find the lume weak. The Miyota 9015 movement offers hacking seconds and a 42-hour power reserve, with accuracy reported between -10/+30 seconds per day. The push-pull crown means it is not a true diver, and the black sapphire bezel can wash out in certain light. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Dan Henry 1975 highly for its retro charm and superb value.
