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 C65 Super Compressor Elite

The Christopher Ward C65 Super Compressor Elite is praised for its well-made, refined, and attractively finished Super Compressor case, featuring a blue gradient dial with decompression scales and an internal bezel operated by the 2 o'clock crown. Reviewers note the COSC-certified Sellita SW300-1 movement offers a 56-hour power reserve. However, the bracelet's end link finishing does not match the lugs, and the pin-and-collar sizing system is criticized for difficulty. One reviewer calls the 150-meter water resistance a party trick and dislikes the logo and trident on the seconds hand. Overall, reviewers find the Christopher Ward C65 Super Compressor Elite to be a refined and attractively finished watch, despite some criticisms regarding bracelet finishing and water resistance.

Sternglas Kanton

The Sternglas Kanton is praised for its refined Bauhaus-inspired design, featuring a silver-plated dial and luminous hands and dots for excellent legibility. Owners and reviewers highlight its comfortable 39mm case size, measuring 10mm thick, and the visible STP 1-11 automatic movement through a sapphire crystal case back. Accuracy figures vary, with one source noting +15 seconds per day, while another suggests improved accuracy over previous models. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Sternglas Kanton highly for its blend of Bauhaus design and Swiss precision at an affordable price point.
