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 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.

Vario 1945 A-11S Solar Quartz

Owners widely praise the Vario 1945 A-11S Solar Quartz for its superb case finishing, legibility, and premium look, with its 40mm size proving comfortable for many wrists. Reviewers highlight its incredible value at $198, featuring a Miyota solar quartz movement and polished chamfers adding unexpected style. Some owners note the lume is poor and the 50-meter water resistance is limited, while others desire a big date complication not supported by the solar movement. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Vario 1945 A-11S Solar Quartz highly for its excellent finishing and value proposition.
