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 Presage Cocktail Time

Seiko Presage Cocktail Time owners widely praise its stunning dials and excellent value, noting it looks far more expensive than its price point. One owner highlights the green Mockingbird variant's fantastic dial, index, and hand combination, along with a great crown. However, some owners criticize legibility issues due to dial markers and hands disappearing into the sunburst pattern, and find the stock straps and bracelets too short with limited micro-adjustments. One owner also describes the case as big, round, and somewhat boring. Overall, owners rate the Seiko Presage Cocktail Time highly for its visually striking dials and perceived value, despite some concerns regarding legibility and bracelet fit.
