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 Twelve X (Ti)

The Christopher Ward Twelve X (Ti) is praised for its exceptionally finished, lightweight titanium case and COSC-certified, skeletonized SH21 movement offering a 120-hour power reserve. Reviewers note its comfortable wearability due to the rounded case shape, despite a 12.3mm thickness, and highlight the micro-adjust clasp. Legibility is considered good for a skeletonized watch, though reduced compared to standard dials. One reviewer points out that the case chamfers may be prone to dings and the movement finishing does not reach higher-end standards. Overall, reviewers rate the Christopher Ward Twelve X (Ti) highly for its impressive case finishing and the value of its COSC-certified, in-house skeletonized movement.

Phoibos Wave Master GMT

The Phoibos Wave Master GMT is widely praised for its attractive design, comfortable 20mm tapering bracelet, and wearability on a 7" wrist, with owners finding it a strong value proposition at $220. Some minor finishing flaws, such as slightly crooked markers and off-center dial numbers, are noted by one owner, while accuracy averages around 5-10 seconds over two weeks. Overall, owners rate the Phoibos Wave Master GMT highly for its distinctive design and comfortable wearability at its price point.

From video reviewers

The Wave Master GMT's notable feature is its 200M water resistance. A drawback is the rattle of the bracelet. Reviewers disagree on the watch's value, with one reviewer noting its significant weight for a 39.5mm case diameter, but the other reviewer doesn't mention any specific weaknesses or trade-offs.
