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 C1 Moonglow

Owners widely praise the Christopher Ward C1 Moonglow for its gorgeous, avant-garde moonphase display and impressive lume, with many finding it comfortable and well-wearing. The constantly rotating moon phase complication is a highlight, and its accuracy is noted as exceptional. However, some find the lume on the date ring disappointing, fading quickly, and one owner finds the second, less visible moon distracting. Overall, owners rate the Christopher Ward C1 Moonglow highly for its visually engaging moonphase and value at the price point.

CIGA Design LEGEND OF SERPENT

The CIGA Design LEGEND OF SERPENT features an onyx case and a unique dial design with a gold snake indicating hours and minutes. Reviewers note the CD-04-S automatic movement has a 41-hour power reserve and the watch is water-resistant to 30 meters. The silver version uses a 925 silver snake and a CD-04-E movement, while the gold version features an 18K gold snake and the CD-04-S movement. On balance, reviewers highlight the LEGEND OF SERPENT's distinctive dial and case design as its primary appeal.

From video reviewers

The unique case design and 18k gold serpent hand are notable features of the CIGA Design LEGEND OF SERPENT. The watch's movement accuracy is also a strength, as it shares its movement with the award-winning Blue Planet titanium predecessor.
