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 Colchester

The Christopher Ward C63 Colchester is praised for its extremely lightweight, 41mm forged carbon case and dial, weighing only 38 grams, and its COSC-certified Sellita SW200 movement. Some owners report the lume lasts all night, while others note the red seconds hand can be difficult to see in low light. The recessed crown is a point of discussion, with one owner finding it difficult to manipulate due to its thinness and another suggesting it may be gimmicky. The watch is offered at $925. Overall, owners appreciate the unique materials and lightweight design of the Christopher Ward C63 Colchester, though some express concerns about the crown functionality and price point.

CWC SBS Divers Issue Quartz Watch Mk.2 Day/Date

The CWC SBS Divers Issue Quartz Watch Mk.2 Day/Date is widely praised for its exceptional legibility, particularly its dial design and thickly applied Super-LumiNova that remains readable all night. Owners appreciate its robust, toolish, bombproof design and comfortable wearability, with one noting its 11mm thickness and smaller wear size. The PVD finish withstands significant abuse. The Ronda movement is considered to have consistent second-hand movement. Some find its £700 price steep, especially compared to less expensive quartz divers, and fixed spring bars are noted as a drawback. Customer service is also flagged as potentially lacking by some. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the CWC SBS Divers Issue Quartz Watch Mk.2 Day/Date highly for its military aesthetics, legibility, and robust, comfortable tool-watch build.
