Reviews

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Aigi Watches Arctic Tide

Owners report the Aigi Arctic Tide's dial markers catch the light similarly to Grand Seiko dials, and one user noted a preference for its movement over an alternative. Some owners consider the 40mm case size comfortable, while others found a 43mm variant chunky. One owner received their watch with a Miyota 9015 movement upgrade, and another experienced issues with lume and alignment on their initial unit, receiving a replacement. On balance, owners view the Aigi Arctic Tide as a decent value at its Kickstarter price, with good on-paper specifications, though concerns exist regarding the brand's newness and potential for it to be a catalogue watch.

Christopher Ward C60 Trident Lumière

Christopher Ward C60 Trident Lumière owners and reviewers widely praise its well-finished, slim, and lightweight grade 2 titanium case, which offers comfortable all-day wear. The bracelet is noted as comfortable with a new micro-adjust clasp, and the 120-click bezel has no wiggle and offers crisp stops. Globolight XP markers and hands provide bright, even lume and astounding legibility, with some noting a 3D effect. The bezel is fully lumed with green on the first 15 minutes and blue elsewhere, and the minute hand also features green lume. One reviewer notes the end links are longer than the lugs, and another commenter dislikes the bezel gap. The Christopher Ward C60 Trident Lumière features a COSC-certified Sellita SW300-1 movement. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Christopher Ward C60 Trident Lumière highly for its exceptional lume performance and comfortable, well-finished titanium case at the price.

From video reviewers

The dial's light-reactive finish and visibility in various lighting conditions are praised. The bracelet clasp is considered basic for the price point. Reviewers disagree on the watch's value proposition relative to its price.
