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.

Seiko Prospex Sea 1970 Heritage Diver's Save the Ocean Special Edition

The Seiko Prospex Sea 1970 Heritage Diver's Save the Ocean Special Edition is praised for its beautiful design and refinement over previous models, featuring vertically textured glacier-inspired dials. Owners, however, consider the €1500 RRP too high, suggesting a price closer to €900-€1000, noting the aluminum bezel insert instead of ceramic. Some owners report the 6R movement runs slow. On balance, owners find the Seiko Prospex Sea 1970 Heritage Diver's Save the Ocean Special Edition beautiful and a refinement, but the price and aluminum bezel are points of contention.
