Couldn't agree more with your assessment of Christopher Ward watches. I've purchased examples for nearly 15 years and currently own six including a 40mm Trident . Each has given flawless service and looks as good as the day I bought it.
Excellent video and watch! Btw. for a channel that just startet, the production quality and presentation exceeds some bigger channels, that do this for years. So don't listen to negative random ppl on the internet. They never build anything meangingful, never create, they're just consumers.
This was genuinely one of my favorite channels I’ve come across this year. Also one of the most expensive, I might add haha (I bought the C63 and Sin 556i after you because I agree with your sentiments so much). Looking forward to going alongside this journey together. Merry Christmas!
@@SixiwWatches Hahaha you did. But it actually helped me to be more satisfied with truly comfortable watches that I feel good about, so in a way it helped me save money :). See you!
Wearing my C60 600 38mm while watching this, but I love how the newer model is a bit thinner while adding those facets. The build quality on CWs goes toe to toe with something like Longines easy, the only drawback is the basic SW200 movement but at this price point you'll be hard pressed to find something better, and hell mine is nearly 10 years old but still runs pretty much bang on. Absolutely recommended - just look for a discount coupon to account for those import fees if you're buying new!
Perfectly put! And at this price point, I wouldn't want anything more "expensive" that a SW-200 - don't want to drive up the servicing and maintenance fees. Thanks for watching!
The discount codes don't exist anymore, like they used to. Still, the price point is super fair. I own a 40mm Trident Pro 300 in green and love it. Surely on par with 3k Longines.
That looks like it’d be a good diver for me physically (6”-6 1/4” wrists)! I really like the features & design of it, too. Great review & channel! Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!
There's not many out there for the same price that can rival the C60. Quality and comfort, which is something that isn't common for divers around $1k for smaller wrists.
Great video, I was seriously considering the c60 Trident Pro as my one and only dive watch in my collection it looks amazing. But I think I will go with the Mido Oceanstar 39mm just loved the wave pattern on the dial 🌊. But damm this trident looks good.
as someone who respects quality and value above all else when it comes to watches, CW was a no brainer for my first real luxury watch. After browsing for a while, they released the c63 limited edition blue marine with the 5days, cosc, in- house movement. Seemed like fate so i quickly pulled the trigger on it and i absolutely love it. Something comparable from the likes of Oris costs more than double what i paid for the CW. They are on an absolute roll lately as well and im glad to be a part of the come up. Wont be my last CW by any means. I'll likely get a 12 next.
Truly an affordable/attainable luxury watch brand with no "fuss". I'd go as far to say Christopher Ward has paved the way for future microbrands. Thanks for watching!
Excellent review, you've got a new subscriber :) I own the 40mm black version of this beauty and it's one of my favorite watches ever. My little gripes - the clasp is still long and the micro-adjust itself isn't refined. Another thing - the bezel is a bit too thin, with the internal silver ring - I'd be happy to have the previous generation's bezel. Still, super recommended piece!
Well done young man, a nicely filmed and put together review. I actually own the Quartz Seamaster "Goldeneye ", I bought it new in 2006. I also own a Cw C63 Sealander. When I put the two side by side, I think the CW edges it but it is a much newer watch. I recently picked up a slim Turtle which I'm very pleased with but it's no CW. Good luck with your channel.
Just bought this model ans color in the 42mm. Great looking watch. This is my 3rd CW. I own the C65 Bel Canto and the twelve titanium. Great watches for the price. Heritage isn't everything.
Agreed, unfortunately there are some who would sacrifice quality for Seiko, but I suppose that's the whole beauty of the watch game. Thanks for watching!
Great review. I've been looking into this one too, but I have a problem with it. It's great as an only watch with the mix of diver and dressy (especially the very shiny batton indices). But which enthusiast has only one watch nowadays ? It's too dressy as a dive watch so it makes little sense if one tries to have a small collection with well segmented pieces. Have you looked into the Bullova devil diver? It might be on my shopping list for next summer !
I see where you're coming from. It can be one of those watches that make you fall out of love with other watches given how well-rounded it is. But on the flip side, it's a rather plain looking diver, which would make sense for other more interesting designs. Will check out the Bulova Devil Diver.
to anyone that thinks CW isnt worth it , your wrong , get one in your hand , they are at every watch show . finished just as good as my tudor and longines for a 3rd of the price
It depends mate, diver or GMT? Which complication works for you? If I were you? Would probably go for the C63 GMT in 36mm. Thanks for watching! Appreciate the love.
I'm not a huge fan of integrated sports pieces, that being said I would love to get my hands on a Twelve 36. I can't imagine it being anything less than quality. Thanks for watching!
For me, i have to ask, what does heritage mean of you are only getting a good watch indtead of a great watch (cough Seiko cough). I'm only partially kidding. There's a reason I have leaned more towards microbrands than larger brands. Yes i do understand there are pros and cons to each. Heritage means greater confidence in support for years if not decades. That can't be said for a company that's been around 20 years or less. At the same time, a company can't build heritage unless they are given a chance
I suppose it kind of comes down to the brand and their marketing strategy too. Just think of Bremont and how it sits in the luxury watch space. Technically, Bremont can be considered a microbrand, given they were only founded in 2002, a couple of years behind CW - but they don't really give off typical microbrand vibes. Not many would know that they're only 20 odd years old. Christopher Ward has definitely grown out of the microbrand level, but they still operate with their original principles, which is great for us!
I’m not sure if everyone loves CW watches as much as they say or they make vids about CW just to get clicks. Most overrated micro brand out there. It’s a San Martin.
Most overrated brand out there. San Martin watches have more value. The CW originals aren’t good and no one calls out the homages. Not great. Get over it.

As a guy with a smaller wrist, I wait eagerly for your videos. Thanks for all your work!
Ditto
Thank you for the kind words mate.

Excellent review of a beautiful watch! Like your style; subscribed.
Saw they came out with a 38mm of this and instantly ordered it

Haha I love it mate! I'm pretty sure I've apologized to your bank account before but I'll happily continue doing that!
Appreciate your support always.

Hahaha you did. But it actually helped me to be more satisfied with truly comfortable watches that I feel good about, so in a way it helped me save money :). See you!
Excellent review thanks
Thanks for a great video. i heard you mention the latest trident has a shortened clasp. When did the Bader with shortened clasp get released?

The Oceanstar 39 is definitely more interesting than the c60, which is a little more on the plain side.
Thanks for watching!

Can't go wrong with the Goldeneye, regardless of how modern and well-engineered the newer pieces are!
Thanks for the kind words. Appreciate it.
Thank you for your videos. They are so well made and informative. I look forward to what you have coming in 2025.
Thank you for your support! I appreciate it.

Great review, personally I’ll be going for the larger version 42mm in the near future
Go for it - you won't be disappointed that's for sure.

Absolutely spot on - it's ridiculous how well they're made, for the price you're paying.
I can't decide between the sealander c63 gmt in 36mm or this c60 pro in 38mm. I have a 6,6 inch wrist..
great channel between! thanks for the great content
It depends mate, diver or GMT? Which complication works for you?
If I were you? Would probably go for the C63 GMT in 36mm.
Thanks for watching! Appreciate the love.
I'd love to see what you think of the Twelve models
I'm not a huge fan of integrated sports pieces, that being said I would love to get my hands on a Twelve 36. I can't imagine it being anything less than quality.

exacly. NO ONE mentions that last part. GREAT POINT. ffs you have to start somewhere lol. And they are on a damn good trajectory.
is having terrible, cheap bracelets and clasps a part of seikos heritage? lol
@@Megatraum504
Not to mention the horrible 4R and 6R movements

Most overrated micro brand out there. It’s a San Martin.
Christopher Ward is no longer a micro brand, it is an Independent brand! Look it its turnover and you will see why!
Exactly! If only there was a committee of some sort that graduates microbrands into the industry 😂
Great watch
Thanks for watching!
Most overrated brand out there. San Martin watches have more value. The CW originals aren’t good and no one calls out the homages. Not great. Get over it.
