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

The Longines Master Collection is widely praised for its excellent value, beautiful dial execution featuring engraved Breguet numerals and snailed subdials, and classic, vintage styling. Owners and reviewers highlight its dressy and thin profile, with one owner noting its versatility as a daily wear. The Master Collection offers complications like chronographs and moon phases at competitive price points, with some finding the case finishing homogenous and the pushers to feel cheap. Accuracy figures are not consistently reported across sources, but one owner notes a broken moon phase setting mechanism requiring professional service. Water resistance is considered light at 30m, and the bracelet lacks micro-adjustments. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Longines Master Collection highly for its dial execution and value, particularly when purchased below retail.
