Reviews

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

ALATO Timescope Automatic 100m 39.8mm

Owners widely praise the ALATO Timescope Automatic 100m 39.8mm for its slim and sleek wearability, noting its sub-11mm thickness and 45.5mm lug-to-lug measurement. The use of a Sellita SW200-1b movement is also a point of appreciation, with one commenter preferring it over a Miyota 9 series. The watch features a sapphire crystal and Super-LumiNova BGW9 lume. On balance, owners rate the ALATO Timescope Automatic 100m 39.8mm highly for its comfortable dimensions and the quality of its movement.

Christopher Ward C65 Sandhurst Series 2

Owners widely praise the Christopher Ward C65 Sandhurst Series 2 for its balanced wearability, clean British-military aesthetic, and COSC-certified accuracy. The 38mm case size aligns with a trend for smaller watches, and its mid-century design is described as ultra-legible and cool, with a gorgeous domed crystal and a MOD badge on the caseback adding charm for military enthusiasts. Some owners question its claimed military heritage compared to other brands, and a few find the 38mm size potentially too small for larger wrists. The watch features a Sellita SW200 COSC chronometer movement with Grade X1 Super-LumiNova. On balance, owners rate the Christopher Ward C65 Sandhurst Series 2 highly for its character, perfect dimensions, and COSC-certified accuracy.

From video reviewers

The COSC-certified movement and vintage military aesthetic are praised. The sub-£1,000 price point is considered remarkable for the quality.
