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 The Twelve

Christopher Ward The Twelve is widely praised for its excellent value, comfortable and thin titanium case, and COSC-certified movements. Owners and reviewers highlight the lightweight feel and attractive finishing. However, some find the dial design lacks originality, and one owner noted sharp edges on bracelet links and unfinished clasp interiors, leading to a return. The skeletonized dial on The Twelve X, while a selling point, can impact legibility, and the case chamfers may be prone to dings. Overall, owners and reviewers rate Christopher Ward The Twelve highly for its comfortable titanium construction and strong value proposition.

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.
