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.

Glycine Airman GMT

Owners widely appreciate the Glycine Airman GMT's ability to track three time zones with an easy-to-read dial layout. However, some owners find the GMT hand visually similar to the minute hand, suggesting a red paint for better distinction, a sentiment echoed by reviewers who note the thin, unlumed GMT hand can be hard to read against the black dial. One owner praises the 39mm sizing and 200m water resistance of a related model, noting its good build and finishing from when Glycine was independent. On balance, owners and reviewers find the Glycine Airman GMT offers practical multi-time zone tracking, though legibility of the GMT hand is a recurring point of discussion.
