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.

Orient AK00 Version 3 Classic Watch

The Orient AK00 Version 3 Classic Watch is widely praised as an affordable, classic dress watch with a well-balanced design and a sun and moon dial. Owners appreciate its sapphire crystal, exhibition caseback, and the F6B24 automatic movement, which offers hand-winding, hacking, and day, date, and 24-hour complications. Some owners find the 42.5mm case size and 14mm thickness to be large, and note that the moonphase is a day/night complication. However, others find it surprisingly not heavy and like its layout and finish, considering Orient the best value brand. Overall, owners rate the Orient AK00 Version 3 Classic Watch highly for its attractive sun and moon dial and excellent value.
