What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Lum-Tec Eclipse

Owners widely praise the Lum-Tec Eclipse for its comfortable, slim profile and thin wearability, with specific commendations for its beautiful dial, good readability, and bracelet design. The knurling on the crown is also noted as a positive feature. Some owners express concern over the 42mm case size and find the dial's font and indices unappealing, though others appreciate the deep-dish slant. One owner notes a slight gap where the lugs meet the bracelet. The Lum-Tec Eclipse e3 variant features a Miyota 9039 movement, a solid bracelet, a sunburst dial, and exceptionally bright lume. Overall, owners rate the Lum-Tec Eclipse highly for its slim design and attractive dial at its price point.

CWC SBS 1987 Aged Special

Owners widely praise the CWC SBS 1987 Aged Special for its rugged build and military heritage, with some finding its quality comparable to higher-end watches. A reviewer notes the 41mm PVD-coated watch features a bright SuperLuminova dial. One owner reports a bit of play in the 60-click bezel, present from new, alongside minor wear on the PVD coating and bezel insert. On balance, owners rate the CWC SBS 1987 Aged Special highly for its rugged build and military heritage, despite some questioning its value at £700.
