Reviews

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

Christopher Ward C60 Trident Pro 300

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.

From video reviewers

The watch's improved proportions and balanced design are praised. The bezel action is noted as smooth and precise. Reviewers disagree on the value proposition, with one seeing it as a benchmark for quality at its price, while another considers it expensive compared to mainstream Swiss divers.

Squale 1521

Owners widely praise the Squale 1521 for its classic look and robust build, with specific mentions of its wearable 12.5mm thickness and refined case finishing. The 42mm case is noted by some to wear smaller, closer to 40mm, due to short lugs, feeling solid without being too large. However, opinions on the bracelet vary, with some finding it too flashy or stiff, and one owner reported moisture ingress after a shower due to a loose case back. The crown can be difficult to operate due to deep integration, and the 38-hour power reserve is considered old-school but reliable. Overall, owners rate the Squale 1521 highly for its classic design and wearability, despite some reservations about the bracelet and crown.
