I just received my C60 Trident Pro 300 last week and I'm absolutely in love with it. First thing I did was unscrew the crown and you're right, it's like silk. I've yet to find a fault with mine. I got the Bader bracelet with the on-the-fly adjustment. It's the most comfortable bracelet I've ever worn. Great unboxings. Keep it up!
Agreed. Loads of women and gentlemen have smaller wrists. We need more for these underserved customers. I’m rocking a 8 1/8” left and 8 1/4” right so I can wear almost anything. I’m more into Daytona’s, (unfortunately I just bought a house so I had to sell it and my GS Snowflake) but I’ve been wearing a Timex X Jacquie 36mm in mother of pearl. (Obviously a ladies watch, I bought for the wife) and I must say it looks fantastic for dress.
I have the Nordic blue 12 and I’m impressed with it, feels like real quality definitely a step up from the PRX. When you put it on you get that Luxury feel
got my 39mm C63 Sealander GMT with the white dial on the 3-link "Bader" bracelet 3 weeks ago and am loving it to pieces. Absolute fantastic watch that wears super comfortable on my 6.75 inch wrist. Chose the 3-link over the 5-link bracelet for the toolless quick adjustment. Way more comfortable than my Longines Hydroconquest 41 mm.
@@juniorjohnson5961 Always difficult to recommend, as in my eyes, watches are highly subjective. If you like the looks, I would definetly check it out. For me personally, it wears fantastic. And with CWs return policy, you can return it during the first 60 days, if you're not convinced.
Longines Conquest can hide under in this case. It looks cheap, especially in black dial with printed indicies like an alpha, unfinished product released to public. That’s the shame, that the microbrand made 10 times better watch in terms of quality and details than the brand with such a history.
Also I’ll add that for the money, NOTHING comes close to the Bader bracelet they make. The quick-adjust rivals, or in most cases exceeds, most bracelets 10 times the price.
@3:43 will look to pick this up soon as it is a great looking watch and a lot of value for the cost. I do agree with your observation though in that it seems the bezel might be a bit on the thin side
CW makes absolutely excellent watches for the money. Also, ignore people who trash talk the service. I had one go in for service after 4 years and another after 4.5 years. Both done smoothly and without a long delay, all under warranty. The 5 year warranty is legit.
My watch was purchased 2 years ago from amzwatch and, to this day, it still looks and runs as well as it did the day it arrived. That movement has never missed a beat despite never having been serviced. I can't complain about that.
I bought a watch from MAMACOO lightly used for my last milestone birthday. Don't wear it as much as it deserves, but not afraid to, either. It's stunning . Good taste, Sir.
CW seems to become an even better watch purchase as time passes. They've been doing so much right. Changing their logo was one of the smartest moves they ever made.
Christopher Ward has good customer service, hopefully you will not need it. My C63 has just broken down for the second time, mine simply stops and refuses to advance the time. Somehow I got a dud, and hopefully this time the movement will be swapped out. The movement has never worked for more than a few months, this time it worked for about a month. I have had mechanical and automatic watches for more than fifty years, I know how to care for them. I am waiting to hear back from CW, hopefully today or tomorrow.
As a seasoned collector you're probably aware of the inherent flaw of Sellita SW200/SW200-1 movements, which has to do with the teeth on the reverser gear being prone to breaking off due to simply hand winding them. These movements are almost always characterized as "workhorses" in nearly every review I've seen, but there is a certain delicacy about them that doesn't seem to get mentioned very often. Hope you get your problem sorted by CW.
@@jayeyesacks1604 You make an excellent point regarding the flaw in the winding train. I am waiting to hear back from CW. I have not had the watch back in my possession for more than a few weeks. In this case, I do not think that is the issue, the watch seems unable to release the mainspring tension, the second hand will begin to advance and then reverse its travel for a couple of seconds and then simply stop, this happens if you try to give it a wind manually, not a full wind, just a few turns, If this is a result of missing teeth on the reverser, that gear may as well be made of cream cheese. I am not trying to be overly sarcastic, sorry if it seems so. If the reverser cannot take even a very slight windup manually then there should be a caution issued which states " Do not use the crown for anything other than changing the date and time" I think that Damasko strengthened their in house movement by upgrading the Reversing Wheel using steel? If CW repairs this movement under the five year guarantee I don't think that i will ever again use the crown to wind even a few turns. Thank you for your input on this issue.
I'm pleased about their customer service as my new Sealander GMT 36 is having to go back. It only arrived yesterday and it stopped after about three hours. All i had done was wind it up, set the date and put it on my wrist. Working away in the office Iater i gave it an admiring look and it actually stopped as i was looking at it. Rocked it a few times and had a look at the movement but no joy. The rotor was turning ok but the rest was stationary. A return pack is on its way to me but i wasn't expecting to have a watch that needed repair after a mere three hours of running. Fingers crossed, it is a lovely looking watch. Back to Rolex..
I like these a lot. Clearly they're setting out to offer good value, which I respect. And I really appreciate that CW actually tried to make their intergrated bracelet sports watch a bit different from everything else in that market space. I'm a fan 👍
A smaller dial and bigger bezel would really make that gmt look small even on your wrist. I have an 8 inch wrist and I have a few 36mm pieces which I think look great.
I'm going down to the CW showroom at the end of September and will be treating myself to one, still can't decide which, so it will be good to try the different options on!!
You know, I really like CW, and every time I watch a review I just can’t get it through my head how you’d pay so much money for a Sellita movement watch. Best example of my analysis is look at Direnzo. Their DRZ 02R Aerolite I bought for ~$800.. that watch is 2x more watch than any of this CW watches, with a Sellita movement by the way. I will say, the Bel Canto in the original blue is my favorite CW and is well worth the money however. Appreciate the review and gave it a like and subscribe, always good to see different perspectives on the watch community.
Are you buying a movement, or are you after a watch? The CW prioritises all the other aspects - finishing, bracelet, dial etc - not just the movement. The watches you suggest are not at this quality level
Picked up a amzwatch's watch as my first watch last month and I’m absolutely in love with it. Perfect size, looks elegant, very comfortable. Now my only problem is holding off from buying more watches so quickly!
The way the butterfly clasp curves digs in, my mate bought a 36mm 12 for his wife and it digs into her. I fed this back to Mike France when we had a chat at the British Watchmakers Day. Interested to hear your view
@@johnholkham2420 it’s actually a strange design. I have several butterfly clasps and we took a good look at it, the outer horns tuck in quite a bit and done conform to the radius
I know butterfly clasps can be an issue some more than others. Most are less curved than the 12. Often one person gets on with a particular clasp and another hates it. I really don’t think this bracelet suits wearing tight and you do get a good supply of smaller 3/4 links to try and get a good fit. Also you could look for any shape edges on the butterfly and try filing them lightly. The clasp works for me adjusted slightly to on side.
For me Christopher Ward was always a Sunday supplement brand and I just don't like their designs. Having said that they do seem to be in the ascendancy compared with Bremont.
I'm not sure if it's the same in the UK, but the Twelve is about twice as expensive as the PRX where I am. Nice finishing, but worth the extra? Maybe if it had that new toolless adjust butterfly clasp. Would be nice to see them side by side. I was eyeing the GMT too, but ended up going for the Lorier Hyperion since I liked its vintage style more.
you gotta hold the watch still while speaking for the video (i get talking with your hands but just makes it tougher to see the watch in this style video)
As a watch enthusiast with NO budget, thank you MAMACOO for great-looking mechanical watches that I can afford! their are very clean, classy look, $150 each. I still watch videos about expensive “proper” watches, but I enjoy what I have
I find it very expensive for a no-name watch. Would prefer Tissot, Longines or Certina, if it had to be swiss made. Christopher Ward sounds like the name on a tweed jacket, pipe tobacco or a cheap scotch - or even scarier, Daniel Wellington's cousin😆
The industry has led you to believe “history” is what you want, but really you want a high quality, well finished, well designed watch. The finishing on CW is leagues above Tissot.
your comment is completely erelevant, it is a watch channel, not a manicure channel. If you dont know the condition, dont comment. It has nothing to do with lotion, Brother.
so they made a dayjust and a PRX clone... AND there is no way in hell I would pay 1000$ USD for those watches I couldn't build one same quality for 200....
I love Christopher Ward watches and have an Atoll 300 in Reef Blue. I just go cold with disinterest when it’s GMT. As with most people, have zero use for that function!

Will give them a test prior to the review 💪

Doesn't need to explain himself to your entitled self.
The best watch under 1000$ is the TISSOT LE LOCLE!!
