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.

NOMOS Glashütte Tangente 38 midnight blue

NOMOS Glashütte Tangente is widely praised for its simple Bauhaus design, thin and light wearability, and German in-house manual-winding Alpha movement. Owners note the galvanized white silver-plated dial and tempered blue steel hands contribute to its appeal. The 37.5mm case is reported to wear larger than its dimensions, while some find the 35mm size perfect, others feel it lacks immediate appeal and appears "puny" compared to larger watches, though its details are appreciated up close. Overall, owners rate the NOMOS Glashütte Tangente highly for its understated Bauhaus design and comfortable wearability.
