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.

Yema Superman Slim CMM.20

Owners and reviewers praise the Yema Superman Slim CMM.20 for its appealing retro design, balanced 39mm case, and in-house CMM.20 micro-rotor movement, with some finding the fish scale bracelet attractive. Concerns exist regarding its $2500/€2,490 MSRP, with some owners questioning its value and noting the potential for QC issues or a "jittery" seconds hand attributed to the new movement. The bracelet's articulation and stamped clasp draw criticism, though some owners report it improves with wear. Overall, owners and reviewers appreciate the Yema Superman Slim CMM.20's vintage styling and unique micro-rotor movement, but its value proposition and some finishing details are points of contention.
