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.

Vario Futurist

The Vario Futurist is widely praised for its fun, retro-futuristic design and unique faceted sapphire crystal, offering significant visual intrigue at an affordable price. Owners note its ability to catch the light beautifully. One reviewer flags that the recessed crown can be difficult to operate, and the 39mm case offers more wrist presence than expected.

From video reviewers

The faceted sapphire crystal and distinctive case finishing are praised. The crown placement and sharp case edges are noted as drawbacks. Reviewers disagreed on the watch's overall value proposition.
