Christopher Ward C60 Trident Pro 300vsPhoibos Narwhal

Owners widely praise the Christopher Ward C60 Trident Pro 300 for its exceptional finishing, particularly the "Light Catcher" case which beautifully plays with light, and the comfortable bracelet featuring a quick-adjust system. Reviewers and owners highlight the ceramic bezel's 120 clicks and premium feel, the dial's finishing with applied indexes, and the impressive lume. The crown operation is noted as premium with no wobble. Some owners find the 40mm case wears small, especially on a rubber strap. The Sellita SW200-1 movement has an advertised accuracy of -/+ 20 seconds per day and a 38-hour power reserve. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Christopher Ward C60 Trident Pro 300 highly for its build quality and finishing at its price point.

The Phoibos Narwhal is praised for its captivating aventurine and Howlite dials, and its 38mm case is noted to wear well on smaller wrists, with one owner comparing its profile to a vintage Zenith El Primero. Some owners appreciate the brand's quality for the price, with one describing the case shape as resembling an integrated bracelet. However, criticisms include misaligned markers and a tilted date window, with one owner finding the hands to be too thick. The watch is considered by some to be overpriced at $480, with a slabby design and difficult-to-size bracelet links. Opinions are split on the 38mm size, with some finding it wears larger than expected, and the brand's logo is polarizing. Overall, owners rate the Phoibos Narwhal highly for its unique dial options and distinctive case design at its price point, despite some concerns regarding finishing consistency.
