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 The Twelve 40 (Ti)

Christopher Ward The Twelve 40 (Ti) owners and reviewers highlight its high value, comfortable and lightweight titanium case, and COSC-certified Sellita SW300-1 movement. Some owners praise the finishing and textured dial, with one noting the sharpness of bracelet links is by design. However, a recurring point of criticism is the sharp edges on the bracelet links, with some also finding the inside surfaces of the clasp unfinished. One owner felt the dial appeared cheap for the price, while a reviewer desired more design originality in the dial and a micro-adjust system for the bracelet. Overall, owners and reviewers rate Christopher Ward The Twelve 40 (Ti) highly for its value and comfortable titanium build, despite some reservations about bracelet finishing and dial design originality.

anOrdain Model 1 Precious Metal

The anOrdain Model 1 Precious Metal is described as dressy with a solid build, though some owners desire more pronounced case chamfers to better define its shape. The galvanized gold and rhodium dials are noted as great, but one owner prefers anOrdain's signature lacquer dials for a precious metal version. The watch features a 38mm stainless steel case with 50 meters of water resistance and an in-house regulated ETA 2824-2 movement with a 38-hour power reserve. The 18mm lug width is also flagged as a drawback by one owner. Overall, owners find the anOrdain Model 1 Precious Metal to be a dressy watch with a solid build, though opinions are split on the dial and case finishing for a precious metal offering.
