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.

CIGA Design SKELETON

Owners widely praise the CIGA Design SKELETON for its value and willingness to challenge established brands, with some surprised by its quality. One owner reports their CIGA Design Series Z in Black DLC has been perfect for over four years, keeping good time and looking neat. However, some find the skeletonized movement's visibility obscured by reflections due to the lack of anti-reflective coating on the crystal. One owner reported their CIGA Design Z Series Skeleton broke after three months with no customer service response. Overall, owners rate the CIGA Design SKELETON highly for its surprising quality and value proposition.
