What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Christopher Ward C1 Moonglow

The Christopher Ward C1 Moonglow is widely praised for its comfort, wearability at 40.5mm, and impressive lume, with owners calling it gorgeous, unique, and the coolest moonphase for the money. The moonphase complication is noted as constantly rotating, and one owner reports it accurate to within 1 day every 128 years. Some criticism exists regarding the dual moon phase display, where the inactive moon is visible through a translucent cover, and the lume on the date ring is less bright and fades faster than other luminous elements. One owner specifically loves the opaque blue moonphase dial of the LE Celestial Blue variant. Overall, owners and reviewers find the Christopher Ward C1 Moonglow a visually engaging and comfortable watch, particularly for its price point, with its unique dial design and strong lume being significant draws.

Brew Super Metric

Owners widely praise the Brew Super Metric's unique, asymmetrical, and colorful 70s-inspired design, with many appreciating its finishing and dial details for the price. Some owners find the integrated bracelet can be a hair-puller, and the watch wears larger than its 36mm dimensions due to the square case and bracelet. The lume is noted as weak, and some find the dial graphics busy, though others love the colorful, essence-keeping 2.0 design. On balance, owners rate the Brew Super Metric highly for its distinctive style and value, with many finding it a fun and comfortable daily wearer.

From video reviewers

The Brew Super Metric's Meca-Quartz Chrono functionality is one of the best the reviewer has seen. The watch's unique design is a key part of its charm. The Seiko meca-quartz caliber contributes to its value for the price. The lume could be improved, as it's not as bright as some other watches in its class. The price may not be the cheapest option in its class.
