Reviews

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Christopher Ward Twelve X Black Shadow

Owners widely praise the Christopher Ward Twelve X Black Shadow's impressive finishing and value, with some noting the bracelet's quality and good customer service. However, reviewers point to a noticeable increase in thickness and legibility issues stemming from the skeletonized dial. One owner reported sharp edges on bracelet links and unfinished clasp interiors, leading to a return, while others found the titanium case and textured dial appealing. The Christopher Ward Twelve X Black Shadow is priced at $4,865. Overall, owners and reviewers acknowledge the Christopher Ward Twelve X Black Shadow's strong finishing and value proposition, though some specific build details and legibility present trade-offs.

From video reviewers

The machine finishing on the titanium case and bracelet is cited as a key strength. The skeletonized dial is noted as a divisive feature. Reviewers disagree on whether the watch offers good value at its price point.

Christopher Ward C60 Sapphire Edge

Owners widely praise the Christopher Ward C60 Sapphire Edge for its elevated deep blue sapphire dial, innovative lumed rubber strap, and slim 42mm case, offering incredible value. The Sellita SW300-1 movement's hand-winding action is described as buttery smooth, and the watch's thinness contributes to fantastic wearability. Reviewers note the sapphire bezel and the striking, translucent dial execution, which some find superior to other transparent dials for its view of the movement. However, one owner reported their dial cracked from the inside during regular use, and the brand denied warranty repair. The Christopher Ward C60 Sapphire Edge is priced at US$1,195 on rubber or US$1,315 on bracelet. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Christopher Ward C60 Sapphire Edge highly for its innovative dial and strap design combined with exceptional value.
