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 Sealander GMT

The Christopher Ward C63 Sealander GMT is praised for its comfortable wearability, with reviewers noting its slim profile, short lugs, and 39mm case size, while others prefer the proportions of the 36mm version. The watch features a Light-catcher case with alternating brushed and polished surfaces, and the Bader bracelet is highlighted for its build quality and comfort at its price point. Some owners find the gloss white dial's text and indices small, and the orange accents can appear yellow. The Sellita SW330-2 movement provides caller GMT functionality and a 56-hour power reserve. On balance, owners and reviewers appreciate the Christopher Ward C63 Sealander GMT for its comfortable wearability and solid bracelet construction at its price.

CWC SBS Black Ice Quartz Watch

Owners widely praise the CWC SBS Black Ice Quartz Watch for its legible, uncluttered dial, excellent Super-LumiNova lume, and robust build quality, noting its comfortable 12mm thickness and durable PVD coating. The bezel action is described as having zero back play, and the fixed lugs are appreciated for easy strap changes. One owner reported the lume is readable throughout the night, while another flagged a faulty mechanism requiring replacement and poor retailer customer service. The £700 price is considered high by some compared to similar quartz divers, leading to questions about its value. Overall, owners rate the CWC SBS Black Ice Quartz Watch highly for its bombproof, toolish design and practical aesthetics.
