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.

Ferro AGL 2 Automatic

Owners widely praise the Ferro AGL 2 Automatic for its well-executed microbrand design, featuring a color-matched big date complication at 12 o'clock and sandwiched indices with superluminova. The watch is noted for its 42mm brushed stainless steel case, 11mm thickness, double-domed sapphire crystal, and a grippy onion crown with a smooth locking mechanism. It offers 100m water resistance and comes with an Italian leather strap, all powered by a Swiss Ronda 5040B quartz chronograph movement. On balance, owners rate the Ferro AGL 2 Automatic highly for its impressive feature set and finishing at the $200 price point.
