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.

Studio Underd0g The Gimlet

Studio Underd0g The Gimlet is praised for its playful, layered dial construction featuring a textured sapphire disc over a luminous base, creating depth and animation, and its comfortable 38mm case dimensions. Owners note its attractive dial color and combination, though some find the design too similar to other models and question the aesthetic of the visible dial screws. The watch utilizes a reliable, tactile Sellita SW210-1 manual-wind movement. On balance, owners and reviewers rate Studio Underd0g The Gimlet highly for its unique dial construction and comfortable wearability.
