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.

Boldr Venture Wayfarer

Owners widely praise the Boldr Venture Wayfarer for its distinctive, angular titanium case, lightweight 38mm size, and comfortable wearability, especially on smaller wrists, with particular appreciation for its bright, long-lasting lume and legible dial featuring syringe hands and an orange second hand accent. Some owners note the finishing is only "ok," while others describe it as excellent, and accuracy figures range from acceptable to an average of +12 seconds per day. A few find the case design too utilitarian and the dial flat, with one owner mentioning less-than-smooth screw-down crown threads. Overall, owners rate the Boldr Venture Wayfarer highly for its unique design and comfortable titanium build at the price.
