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 C65 Super Compressor Elite

The Christopher Ward C65 Super Compressor Elite is praised for its well-made, refined, and attractively finished Super Compressor case, featuring a blue gradient dial with decompression scales and an internal bezel operated by the 2 o'clock crown. Reviewers note the COSC-certified Sellita SW300-1 movement offers a 56-hour power reserve. However, the bracelet's end link finishing does not match the lugs, and the pin-and-collar sizing system is criticized for difficulty. One reviewer calls the 150-meter water resistance a party trick and dislikes the logo and trident on the seconds hand. Overall, reviewers find the Christopher Ward C65 Super Compressor Elite to be a refined and attractively finished watch, despite some criticisms regarding bracelet finishing and water resistance.

Citizen Tsuyosa Automatic

The Citizen Tsuyosa Automatic is widely praised for its exceptional value, with reviewers and owners alike highlighting its Japanese construction quality and impressive fit and finish for the price. Enthusiasts appreciate its versatile design and fun dial colors, while reviewers note its retro feel and emulation of vintage dress watches. The watch is powered by Citizen's caliber 8322 movement, offering a 60-hour power reserve. Criticisms include a cyclops date magnifier that some find undesirable, a bracelet that can be noisy and lacks significant tapering, and a 40mm case that wears large due to its thickness and broad lugs. One owner also found the 4 o'clock crown fiddly for winding. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Citizen Tsuyosa Automatic highly for its incredible bargain price and well-executed design.
