Reviews

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

Christopher Ward C60 Trident Reef

The Christopher Ward C60 Trident Reef is widely praised for its vibrant, multi-layered dials and fun, affordable design, with owners appreciating its value and unique aesthetic. Reviewers note the 41mm case size is well-proportioned and wears comfortably due to curved lugs, and the FKM rubber strap is considered comfortable. Some owners desire a fully lumed bezel, and a minority dislike the Bader bracelet. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Christopher Ward C60 Trident Reef highly for its distinctive design and strong value proposition.

From video reviewers

The dial's vibrant color and unique texture are strong points. The bezel's grip and functionality are a shared weakness. Reviewers disagreed on the watch's value proposition relative to Seiko divers.

CWC Arctic Radar Automatic Diver Watch
