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.

Marloe Watch Company Coniston Auto

Owners widely praise the Marloe Coniston Auto's unique design, layered dial, applied indices, and skeleton handset, with one owner noting its pleasing caseback and versatility as an everyday watch. The comfortable orange silicone strap is a favorite, and the overall presentation and packaging are considered excellent. Accuracy from the Miyota 8N24 movement ranges from +-10-20 seconds per day, which some find not ideal for a daily wearer, and the BGW9 lume is noted as less enduring than on other models. One owner dislikes the "WATCH COMPANY" text on the dial. On balance, owners rate the Marloe Coniston Auto highly for its visually pleasing and well-built design at its price point.
