I have to add another comment; after seeing this review, I went and registered to CW's newsletter and they provided me with a welcome discount (10%) and now, b/c I'm in LOVE with this watch, it's going to be in my roster within the next few days 😍 I was gearing up to buy the Tissot Seastar 2000 but now, forget it! For close to the same price, you get much, much more i.e. COSC, same 600m WR, Sapphire through-and-through, great design, great lume and all that for a great cause. I'm hooked. I'm truly, truly grateful to have watched this review b/c I was "this close" to buying the Seastar 2000. Wow! ... I'm floored by the beauty of this watch (can you tell? 😉) - Thanks again Chris. Keep 'em coming! Great reviews.
That was a close call Tssot v Christopher Ward no contest mate. Keep your eye on there website good stuff coming up all the time. My collection is growing and growing.
I have a Seastar 1000, which is not the 2000 to be sure, but the CW is light years ahead of Tissot in my opinion, in every area that matters - design, construction, specs, details. One issue I have with the Seastars relates to styling - they are "alll face and no case" on the wrist, as compared to traditional design where the case is more prominent.
I love Christopher Ward - quality is terrific, but this is just unbelievable when you turned out the lights - WOW ! I think I have to move some things that aren't being worn down the road and add this one. Another great review, thank you. Keep up the great work.
This is a FANTASTIC watch for the price! COSC, 600m WR, Sapphire Crystal and Dial?!? That's just insane. And, on top of that, this is for a good cause that is near and dear to my heart; Save The Ocean. Overfishing is killing our oceans and this ecosystem is key to our survival. You want to save the Earth, start by saving the oceans. Great cause, great watch ... now, great ... I have to go ahead and press the "Add To Cart" 👋🏼😄
This is the best c60 sapphire dial watch so far..the cosc movement, the stainless steel ring on the inside of the bezel and of course that amazing dial..Good work CW. Incredible watch. Thanks for the review Chris.
First thank you again for bringing this phenomenal piece. Maybe there was one year ago, back in time when I have discovered this brand, one model called "Trident c.60" (the old version) of a diver's really very well made. And now it is happening again, another beautiful piece and very well made. Thank you Christopher Ward!, and thank you Chris for your work as well. Saludos!!
Thank you, Chris! I came close to buying it until I checked the height....14.6 is a bit too much for me...and I just purchased the Universa and Sky Raider.....however, 14.6 is not a deal breaker
Glad I went for the bracelet. Not fond of straps needing a break in. Wish it was a 44mm, but Ward has leaned into the small cases. 42 and change should be okay. Mine is hung up with DHL, some unspecified delay. Was supposed to arrive yesterday. Exciting to return to the brand. Bought five in a row, years back, before the logo change, then none since. Never liked the long name off to the side, but centered, and date below looks good. Epic value, even at $1215 on the bracelet. Great review. That lume!!!!!!
Are you purchasing this from the states? How much import tax am I expected to pay? Really interested in this watch and have always wanted a Cristopher Ward. I agree with you about the branding, it should be centered. Not a fan of it on the side and I believe CW will listen to their prospective customers and bring it back to where it should be
@@AKhan.28 No USA sellers, unfortunately, so yes we do pay duty on any watch over $800. The hold up from DHL on mine was, in fact, duty owed, and it's annoying DHL listed it as an unexpected shipping delay problem. Had to sit on hold to finally talk to someone, just to find out it was only duty needing to be paid. $82 on a $1200 watch (pay DHL directly online), so, slightly under 7%. Odd because I only paid forty bucks duty for a $1600 watch from Japan, so, I guess it varies. But these are sold directly from the Christopher Ward web site. Once a customer, you will receive a $125 off coupon, usually a few times per year, which is nice. Occasional clearance sales also occur. Shipping is quite fast. Woulda had mine last week if they'd let me know what the hold up was. And, after 5 buys in a row, years back, this is my first buy since the logo changed to the full name, lol, that's how much I have disliked it. Still would much prefer the twin flags they sometimes use, but, yes, centered is certainly preferable. Their quality is outstanding though, definitely above the price points!
@@135ipocketrocket2 Ok thank you so much for the information! Now I'm stuck on which model I want haha. They have so many appealing watches and it seems as if they're one of the best brands when it comes to the price:quality propostion. Strange that DHL wouldn't notify you about the duty fees...
@@AKhan.28 Yup, they definitely excel on quality for price. Micro brands in general have been very rewarding buys, for me, but CW is one of the best, although as Chris points out, they are probably more of just an independent now, than a micro. Hope you find something you like, although I'm confident any choice from them will bring happiness. 👍
@WatchChris - Thanks for the great review! Regarding the quality of the case and its finishing, Mike France in a recent video proudly revealed that CW's cases come from the same source as Tudor's, very impressive given the much lower price tier that CW watches occupy. Their value is exceptional as you stated including COSC certification of many models for a modest upcharge.
I saw that interview..who would of thought it only costs around £50 to get a movement cosc certified..I bet the luxury brands weren't happy with Mr france revealing that little secret 🤔
Great video! Is it possible that we can put the bracelet from other C60 MK3 to the case of this C60 tide? Would prefer to look this C60 Tide on current bracelet of normal C60.
I've got the LE sapphire wave-pattern Trident from last year, and i'm *still* seriously considering picking one of these up. Its just a really nice watch with some interesting stuff going on.
Really fun watch. I keep saying it but Christopher Ward is killing it. The case, the dial, the lume (and I typically could care less about lume.). Appreciate the conservation effort as the cherry on top of a very nice sundae. Now I want the Super Compressor, the C65 chronograph you have, and this one.
Bought this one as soon as seen wears really good on my 7 1/4 inch wrist ‘ great looking watch had loads of comments from friends when out with it on , I got the bracelet but also got the tide strap and I must say the watch looks grand on either option D.frog
Thanks for the vid.. Am hoping you do a side by side lume shot with this and the C60 Sapphire Blue (that I have). This lume appears to blow the Blue Sapphire out of the water, and that's saying a lot imho. Spot on with the case also, beautiful.
Beautiful watch that I am sure that I will buy. I am not interested in brand names. I am more concerned with looks and quality. What's not to like about this one! Lastly, CW is a quality brand and has quality watches.
You can't beat a Christopher Ward watch and this one is a beautiful peice. I would love one in my collection. Going to HQ next week sure I will be looking hard and long at this one. It would fit in great with the other CW watches in my box.
While you're there Michael, ask them when they are going to add half links to the c60 and c65 bracelets...the more people that ask the more likely it's going to happen 👍
@@davids.2317 Just an update on half links. Some of there brackets do already have half links mywife bought a white face c60 it had half links but my c60 tide did not but shortly they all will so we were told. Mike
This watch defines perfection…minus the “Christopher ward” name on the dial. No offense. Even still, based off price and quality, I just might get this watch. Great review indeed.
Beautiful watch. Is this one already on sale? I will most definitely buy this one. I always laugh when I hear of people who buy for brand recognition. So many independents and microbrands are putting quality timepieces.
I like Christopher Ward very much. I have their World Timer. This watch is a stunner. I am already pulling out my AMEX card))) My favorite brands are Squale and Tourby. CW is definitely going to be among my favorites. 👍
@@eyeheartsushi2212, I am an American, however I am living and working in Europe. Yes, you will pay additional taxes. I should think taxes are higher in Europe because of VAT. Anyway, Tourby produces excellent timepieces. I have their diver and GMT models. Frankly, I think any taxes one must pay is worthwhile because these watches are well made and will last a lifetime.
@Greg Alonzo I've got the Squale 50 Atmos Blue. Love the case design, the stunning blue dial and pop of orange on the minute hand. Great summer time watch. What I don't like...the subpar lume. I don't know if lume is mediocre across the whole Squale line (please correct me if I'm wrong!), but it just isn't great on this one (maybe I've become spoiled with great lume from the likes of Seiko, Zelos, NTH, and most recently, SWC with their Bunker 100m WR field watch). And for this reason, maybe it's the one and only Squale I'll ever own (which is a shame, as I know Squale's got other interesting watches in their lineup).
@@shawn1928, sorry I can't help you. I have the SqualeMatic and the GMT. with regard to the 50 Atmos, that blue dial is stunning. It just may be Squale's most popular watch. As for the lume, I couldn't say. Lume is not at all an issue for me and I don't own any of the brands you mentioned.
If this watch was 200 m and 13 mm thick or less I would buy it in a second but because it's so thick I don't think I will. Why in the world do you need to make a watch 600m when 200 m is more than fine. And ruined it because now it needs to be too thick. What are your thoughts
Based on your video I just purchased this C60 #Tide here in the US and absolutely love it. I also found a coupon for $125 off, which was great. There were import fees I incurred of about $60, but other than that I feel I received an amazing watch at an amazing price. It's also much more than I expected. Beautiful and superb perfection. I'm a new CW fan. Thanks for reviewing this watch. I am also a new subscriber :-) Cheers...
Great vid and a nice looking watch............however if it's one thing that puts me off buying anything nowadays it's this constant 'made with recycled' marketing drivel....it's just garbage(excuse the intended pun)....they are all at it,clothing companies too but the piece de resistance is the 100% recycled running shoes from the usual suspects in USA and Germany who certainly don't shout from the rooftops that they are all made in China......how strange.
Very nice watch but enough with this bs of ocean plastic... all over! Btw, what's the point of adding a plastic ring on the back just to be (again!) from recycled ocean plastic (or so they claim...) ???? PS Lovely "blue zebra" pattern on the dial, it's a fish/creature out of the depths of North Sea...🤪😂😂😂
@@eyeheartsushi2212 sure, its a gimmick, i agree. in the interviews with mike france he does mention, that tide pays people in thailand/phillipines the same wages to fish plastic instead of fish (overfishing..seaspiracy) ..so, yeah, even it doesnt make much ecological sense to send plastic from one end of the world to the other, raising awareness and supporting organisations like tide is commendable.
Companies like Apple, now completely rely on recycled materials to make their products. So get a grip on wrapping your thoughts around recycling, that new premium MacBook Pro 16” that just dropped, made completely out of recycled aluminum.

I bought one of these within a week of its release on the bracelet and ordered the strap with the stripe color-matched to the second hand. I love it.
Definitely a cool piece to add to the collection. Always believed in the quality of C-Ward but this watch looks top notch. Thanks for the review !

Looks like a fun weekend watch and, dare I say, an accessible alternative to the SMP300.
Beautiful watch. Just my style. For those who question microbrands, just remember every company has a beginning.
It is a handsome watch, elegant, great blue too.
They need to offer this one in a smaller size. As a 40 or 38/39mm it would go right to the top of my wish-list.
In person, is the lume blue or green?
Great video! Is it possible that we can put the bracelet from other C60 MK3 to the case of this C60 tide? Would prefer to look this C60 Tide on current bracelet of normal C60.

Couldn’t care less
Not a CW fan but that dial lume is crazy cool.
Great video!
Wow, that may be the best lume on a watch I've seen. I assume the dial lume dies fairly quickly but still very impressive.
Thanks allot for the review, very helpful to decide buying one of these!
Is there a Christopher Ward AD in the Philippines? Greenbelt Makati in particular.
Nice review, good looking watch. Wish I could get on board with CW, but my C65 Trident was poorly built and a big disappointment!
That dial lume is crazy good! 😳🙌
May you compare the accuracy between Christopher Ward COSC and Rolex?
COSC accuracy is COSC accuracy, regardless of who made the movement and watch.
Great look!! I hope they come out with a 40mm. Just a tad big for me.

It''s 600m water resistant, so 14.6mm thickness is quite acceptable.
