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 C12 Loco

Owners widely praise the Christopher Ward The C12 Loco for its unusual technical ambition, well-finished movement aesthetics, and value, particularly noting the dial-side floating free-sprung balance. Some owners find the mid-case design creates odd proportions, and the 30m water resistance is flagged as a limitation. The watch features a manually wound twin-barrel movement in a 41mm steel case with a 47.5mm lug-to-lug and 13.7mm thickness. Overall, owners rate the Christopher Ward The C12 Loco highly for its ambitious movement design and value at its price point.

Cincinnati Watch Company Concourse Champagne

The Cincinnati Watch Company Concourse Champagne is widely praised for its Art Deco dial, described as "pure art deco with chevron-type design" and evoking a "Mad Men-style vibe," alongside its impressive build quality and craftsmanship for the price. Owners and reviewers highlight the smooth winding action of the Sellita SW300-1a movement, which is noted as being tuned to COSC specifications. However, the 38mm case size and the transition from case to bracelet are considered potentially divisive design choices by some. The dial itself elicits strong reactions, with one owner calling it "amazing" and "unique," while another found it visually unappealing. The watch measures 38mm wide, 44mm lug to lug, and 10.5mm thick, with a non-screw down crown and 100m water resistance. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Cincinnati Watch Company Concourse Champagne highly for its distinctive Art Deco aesthetic and excellent value.
