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.

Vaer G2 Apocalypse GMT

Owners praise the Vaer G2 Apocalypse GMT's well-executed proportions and smooth GMT bezel action. One owner reports quality control issues such as misaligned hands and dust under the crystal, attributing these to the sub-$500 price point. The watch features a caller-style quartz movement for quick-set date adjustment and its lume is functional, though noted as a step below other models. Overall, owners find the Vaer G2 Apocalypse GMT offers good value for its price, despite potential quality control concerns.
