I appreciate the suggestions, but the screwdriver shot at 20:56 is for illustrative b-roll purposes only. Both bracelets were sized off-camera with correctly sized screwdrivers, so no need to keep telling me 😅 no chance I'm risking scratching these with a camera dangling over my shoulder haha

I've had my C65 Aquitaine for about a year now, and honestly, I've held it in comparison to Longines in the $3-$4K range, some older Tudors, all in hand. The finishing is pretty much up to snuff with watches in the $3-$4K range. The brushing is very consistent and clean, the Sapphire is terrific, the bracelet is rock solid and the bezel action is to die for.

I've gone from disliking their dials and finding their branding unattractive to absolutely loving what they do now! Their current logo is really nice. I'm particularly fond of The Twelve-how could I not be with that dial? And the C65 Dune, the C65 Dune is just so nice, I've come close to buying it. I do wish they still made quartz watches. Sure, The Twelve is fine as an automatic, but the C65 Dune would be ideal with a robust quartz movement. They wouldn't even need to make it cheaper; just offer a high-quality quartz movement in the C65 and sell it at the same price. If only Citizen could sell them a rock solid modern movement :D

i own a 'Claude valentini millennium sport' watch, I bought it about 20 years ago. There was an entire 'watchdog' feature on this watch, it was sold at car shows, with a 'reduced from £1500' tag. By the time watchdog got hold of it the gig was over, the rest ended up on ebay, I paid about £15 for it, and it has lasted 20 years and still looks ok. But it was a pathfinder for ali express sh*tters.

I bought a C63 Sealander back in April. It’s a beautiful watch, with very high levels of finishing across the dial and a comfortable bracelet. My only complaint is that the movement lasts maybe 13 hours off wrist, as opposed to the stated 36. It often will stop working if I take it off when I get home from work and then put it back on the next morning.

For me personally, the BellCanto is the one to get. All of their other models can be attained similalrly from other brands at a better price. Also their prices have indeed been going up, so I expect that to continue as time goes by and I predict their desire is to eventually situate themselves in the upper tier/luxury price tier.

I have the CW C60 Pro 600 and absolutely love it. The difference is I waited until they done a sale and snapped mine at £600! Which was a huge saving on the RRP of £1200 at the time of purchase at the beginning of this year. My advice to anyone is sign up to the CW mail list and you get an invite to their private sales direct from CW. They even sell the like new returns watches at even more money off.

And as I love the white-orange color scheme of the Explorer II but couldn't live with either the diameter or the price, I love the slight inspiration CW took, but still making a watch of their own. Fantastic watch for the price.

They have put in a conscious effort to hit a ton of shows and meetups (Red Bar etc). They are definitely making the rounds. They do have the 60/60 as well. They will pay return shipping and full refund if you order it and don't like it. It gets a little tricky if you are outside the UK getting back import duty and taxes but it can be done. Also note 60/60 means that you look it over and don't like it. Not size the bracelet and wear it for three weeks then declare you don't like it. You wouldn't get a full refund in this case.

Back in 2018 I picked up the CW C60 Trident quartz for £175 on sale and now that watch on ebay is around £300/£350 depending on condition. I can honestly say the quality is incredible for the price point with a hardcore community of watch collectors. If anyone is considering a CW I would highly recommend

Your usual very comprehensive and well considered review. of what are decent watches. I own several.. There has been a move by some "reviewers" to place this brand in a tier they can't genuinely aspire to. Paid shills?? Who knows, but I don't agree with them. It's been a long time since they introduced their in house movement, but it hasn't been widely used or developed for more uses by the brand. It's a bit thick as is so would definitely need work to put CW in the "luxury" class. They've come a long way but still aren't competing with the big boys. Perhaps as you imply they aren't really trying, not wanting to venture too far along the flat part of the price/quality curve.

The thing about CW talking in “cutting out the middle man” language is that they were the first brand to sell watches directly to consumers online twenty years ago; they were the first to genuinely use 3x markups (which they’d carried across from years in standard retail at ELC) and not have a distribution network cost, and hence no middle man. All the scam brands of recent years have since repeated “middle man” and “affordable luxury” but using crappy drop shipped stuff. Meanwhile CW are a genuine British/Swiss manufacturer with their own in-house calibre in the SH-21, plus the JJ and FS modules for Sellita movements. Whilst they started off as a generic micro brand they’re now a true independent watchmaker with some incredible pieces: the Bel Canto and their recent Moonphase for example, whilst the finishing on the Twelve X is outstanding. I’ve never understood people who don’t like watches with people’s names on. What about Roger Smith, Philippe Dufour, etc?

Thanks for the video, Ben. I love my Christopher Ward C60 Trident Pro. It is quite obviously top quality in every way. I paid $800 for it in 2015. As it came on a leather strap, I decided to purchase a bracelet from CW, but was told that the bracelets were sold out as the watch had been discontinued. Conversely, when my 1972 Seiko 6139 required extensive work, my Seiko watchmaker in North Vancouver Canada was able to source all required parts OEM from Seiko, including a crystal and bracelet links that needed to be replaced. As I never sell a watch, this made me question future purchases beyond the major brands as future value is sure to be impacted. My Seikos that I bought as a teenager in the 70s are now worth 10 times more than I paid for them. I just cannot see that level of future desirability from CW.

Own a second hand 12 and I would say it’s very good for the price point. Much nicer than a PRX , it feels high quality like a more expensive watch with really 1st class finishing. The only improvement would be if the Steel models had the SW300 movement like the titanium, the slimmer movement and better quality of the SW300 would raise the bar. It’s definitely higher quality than the lower grade Swatch group such as Tissot, Hamilton, Certina and Mido ,and close to Longines.

The same way that San Martin undercuts brands like Seiko and Tissot, Chris Ward is Longines quality for a grand or more less. Perhaps even better - that microadjust butterfly clasp is a game changer. I've been happy with my Trident diver but I might have to finally pick up a new one...

Adjustable link first in the industry ?? Take a look at the Vacheron 5500. CW did a great job copying this adjustment. The Twelve X will have this too. Waiting for mine.

In that price range I prefer German brands like Sinn, Schaumburg, Damasko, Bruno Söhnle, Limes, Wempe and Junghans. Having said that the finish and design of CW look great. Superb review!!

Zodiac has a similar micro-adjustment system on their butterfly clasps. Although I like CW (and currently own a 42mm Trident diver), all of my CW watches have wound like they have sand in the movement. 🤷‍♂️

Try larger screwdrivers for the bracelet, the blade should be as large as the screw.

Ever since I bought a watch from amzwatch , My question is if it's this hard to tell them apart, what is the point of owning an authentic watch?

I own the 12 in Titanium with a purple dial. It's a beautiful watch, but it's rather expensive for what I consider to be a smaller brand. The 36 would have been a better fit for my wrist, but it was yet to be offered at the time of purchase. They are in a tough spot because they are between categories. They are not a micro brand but not a powerhouse, so finding the right price bracket is tricky. I like it better than the PRX; to me, it looks more premium. I am happy with my purchase, but I don't think I would consider my 12 a luxury watch.

Everyone has an opinion re Christopher Ward, whether it be marketing, branding etc etc. All I can say having owned 2 of their pieces is that the build quality is superb and the retail prices are extremely competitive. Get yourself a pre owned piece and they cannot be beaten.

Christopher Ward is definitely producing some great timepiece, but 'luxury' so subjective. In my opinion, many brands offer luxury and entry level luxury. Some can even argue Rolex OP stainless steel is the cheapest luxury watch if you want to compare to a RM or FP Journe.

I really like CW as a brand and am not bothered by the fact that they aren't as widely known as some of the other bigger brands, Rolex, Omega, Seiko, Citizen, etc. What I think they really need to do, as opposed to all this self directed marketing they have done, is just have a decent bloody sale on their watches. Like 50% off stock which they have had on the shelf for a longer than acceptable period. That, in my opinion is the best form of marketing. Get some watches out there to people who love them but haven't been able to afford one, and just watch the onflow of capitalisation as a result of those happy customers.
