Reviews

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

Christopher Ward C60 Trident Lumière

Christopher Ward C60 Trident Lumière owners and reviewers widely praise its well-finished, slim, and lightweight grade 2 titanium case, which offers comfortable all-day wear. The bracelet is noted as comfortable with a new micro-adjust clasp, and the 120-click bezel has no wiggle and offers crisp stops. Globolight XP markers and hands provide bright, even lume and astounding legibility, with some noting a 3D effect. The bezel is fully lumed with green on the first 15 minutes and blue elsewhere, and the minute hand also features green lume. One reviewer notes the end links are longer than the lugs, and another commenter dislikes the bezel gap. The Christopher Ward C60 Trident Lumière features a COSC-certified Sellita SW300-1 movement. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Christopher Ward C60 Trident Lumière highly for its exceptional lume performance and comfortable, well-finished titanium case at the price.

From video reviewers

The dial's light-reactive finish and visibility in various lighting conditions are praised. The bracelet clasp is considered basic for the price point. Reviewers disagree on the watch's value proposition relative to its price.

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.
