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.

CIGA Design LEGEND OF SERPENT

The CIGA Design LEGEND OF SERPENT features an onyx case and a unique dial design with a gold snake indicating hours and minutes. Reviewers note the CD-04-S automatic movement has a 41-hour power reserve and the watch is water-resistant to 30 meters. The silver version uses a 925 silver snake and a CD-04-E movement, while the gold version features an 18K gold snake and the CD-04-S movement. On balance, reviewers highlight the LEGEND OF SERPENT's distinctive dial and case design as its primary appeal.

From video reviewers

The unique case design and 18k gold serpent hand are notable features of the CIGA Design LEGEND OF SERPENT. The watch's movement accuracy is also a strength, as it shares its movement with the award-winning Blue Planet titanium predecessor.
