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.

Longines MASTER COLLECTION CHRONO MOONPHASE

Owners widely praise the Longines MASTER COLLECTION CHRONO MOONPHASE for its beautiful and legible dial, offering significant complications for its value. Accuracy figures vary, with one owner reporting +8 seconds per day and another stating it is their most accurate watch. Some find the chronograph hour hand placement inconvenient, and the date hand can occasionally overlap the hour hand. The watch is noted as being thick, typical of Valjoux-based chronographs, and its 3 bar water resistance limits it to less demanding environments. One owner observed scuffs on the case of their example, and another found the blue on the band and numerals less vibrant than pictured. Overall, owners rate the Longines MASTER COLLECTION CHRONO MOONPHASE highly for its impressive complications and aesthetic appeal at its price point.
