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 C12 Loco

Owners widely praise the Christopher Ward The C12 Loco for its unusual technical ambition, well-finished movement aesthetics, and value, particularly noting the dial-side floating free-sprung balance. Some owners find the mid-case design creates odd proportions, and the 30m water resistance is flagged as a limitation. The watch features a manually wound twin-barrel movement in a 41mm steel case with a 47.5mm lug-to-lug and 13.7mm thickness. Overall, owners rate the Christopher Ward The C12 Loco highly for its ambitious movement design and value at its price point.

Christopher Ward C63 True GMT

The Christopher Ward C63 True GMT is widely praised for its in-house CW-002 caliber, which offers a 120-hour power reserve and COSC certification. Owners find the 39mm case size comfortable, though some note it wears closer to 40-41mm. While the PVD hands provide good contrast and the lume is praised for readability, one owner felt the orange accent lacked pop and the gloss dial/text combo appeared cheap in certain lighting. One owner also noted a perceived slight difference in production quality compared to a sibling model's bracelet. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Christopher Ward C63 True GMT highly for its impressive power reserve and COSC-certified movement at its price point.

From video reviewers

The case finishing is praised for its polished and curved surfaces. The watch uses a Sellita SW330-2 movement. Reviewers disagree on the case size, with one noting 40.5mm and another highlighting a 36mm option.
