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.

Aevig Thule sportswatch

The Aevig Thule sportswatch is widely praised for its 70s-inspired design, lightweight titanium case with a hardness coating, and comfortable wearability. Owners note the NH34 GMT movement's accurate regulation, often seeing 1-2 seconds fast per day, and appreciate the excellent anti-reflective coating, sapphire crystal, and quick-release bracelet. Some reviewers, however, express a desire for dressier styling and sharper case angles, with one owner pointing out potential irregularities on the skeletonized hour markers. Overall, owners rate the Aevig Thule sportswatch highly for its original design and value.
