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.

RZE Urbanist

Overall, owners rate the RZE Urbanist highly for its durable, lightweight titanium construction and reliable solar movement.
