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 C63 Valour

The Christopher Ward C63 Valour is praised for its beautiful, deep dial with 3D applied markers and indices, its great look, and its symmetry, with some calling it one of the best-looking and most affordable chronographs available. Reviewers note its Light-catcher case with flowing curves and contrasting brushed and polished finishes, and a matte black dial with applied numerals and sub-dials featuring differently colored hands. The watch is powered by a thermocompensated, chronometer-certified quartz movement, specifically the ETA G10.212 AD, which Christopher Ward claims offers accuracy of +/- 10 seconds per year, though some users question this, citing ETA's stated accuracy of +/- 73 seconds per year. Owners are split on the use of a quartz movement in a watch at this price point, with some preferring mechanical movements, while others defend quartz for its reliability, thinner profile, accuracy, and lower service costs.

KUOE ROYAL SMITH 90-006

Owners widely praise the KUOE ROYAL SMITH 90-006 for its visual appeal and sapphire crystal with AR coating. The watch functions correctly and keeps time at approximately +5 seconds per day on the wrist, powered by a Miyota 9039 movement. On balance, owners value the watch's aesthetics and specifications, though some question its overall value proposition.

From video reviewers

The watch's unique blend of modern and retro elements is a notable strength, with a textured ivory waffle dial and Breguet numerals giving it the look of a vintage watch from the 1950s and 1960s. A potential drawback is the ~$770 USD price point, which is significant for a microbrand. Reviewers disagree on the movement's accuracy, with one reviewer noting it is noisy and another describing it as a "Japanese-manufactured high beat premium automatic movement".
