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 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.

Seiko Prospex Sea Seiko Diver’s Watch 60th Anniversary Limited Edition

The Prospex Sea Seiko Diver’s Watch 60th Anniversary Limited Edition features a 40mm case, 300m water resistance, and a 72-hour power reserve from the Calibre 6R55 movement, distinguished by a grey bezel insert and a wave-patterned silvery-white dial. The clasp includes an improved diving suit extension. Owners note the MarineMaster case is comfortable and wearable. However, some owners criticize the 6R54 movement's accuracy, reporting deviations of +25/-15 seconds per day, and find the production number too large for a "limited" edition, deeming it too expensive. On balance, owners rate the Prospex Sea Seiko Diver’s Watch 60th Anniversary Limited Edition positively for its comfortable case and attractive dial, despite concerns regarding its price and movement accuracy.
