Reviews

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Christopher Ward C65 Sandhurst Series 2

Owners widely praise the Christopher Ward C65 Sandhurst Series 2 for its balanced wearability, clean British-military aesthetic, and COSC-certified accuracy. The 38mm case size aligns with a trend for smaller watches, and its mid-century design is described as ultra-legible and cool, with a gorgeous domed crystal and a MOD badge on the caseback adding charm for military enthusiasts. Some owners question its claimed military heritage compared to other brands, and a few find the 38mm size potentially too small for larger wrists. The watch features a Sellita SW200 COSC chronometer movement with Grade X1 Super-LumiNova. On balance, owners rate the Christopher Ward C65 Sandhurst Series 2 highly for its character, perfect dimensions, and COSC-certified accuracy.

From video reviewers

The COSC-certified movement and vintage military aesthetic are praised. The sub-£1,000 price point is considered remarkable for the quality.

Lorier Falcon

Owners widely praise the Lorier FALCON for its wearability, with many highlighting its comfortable 36mm case and excellent bracelet, some noting it has become a near-sole daily wear. Reviewers and owners alike appreciate its successful execution of the explorer watch format, offering a blend of tool watch and jewelry feel with a distinct identity. One owner reports the FALCON III keeps good time at around 4 seconds per day gained, while another notes its acrylic crystal and flat link bracelet contribute to its retro design. Some owners find the FALCON's lug length makes the 36mm case wear slightly larger, and one owner felt its hands, indices, and lume were less refined compared to other watches. Overall, owners rate the Lorier FALCON highly for its comfortable dimensions and bracelet, which contribute to its strong wearability.
