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.

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.
