What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Christopher Ward C60 Sapphire Edge

Owners widely praise the Christopher Ward C60 Sapphire Edge for its innovative deep blue sapphire dial, which is considered superior to other transparent dial executions, and its slim, ergonomic 42mm case. The lumed rubber strap is also a frequently highlighted feature, contributing to the watch's homogeneous luminosity and "damn cool" aesthetic. The watch is noted for offering incredible value, with a Sellita SW300-1 movement providing a 56-hour power reserve and 60ATM water resistance. However, one owner reported the sapphire dial cracked from the inside during regular use, and the brand denied warranty repair for this issue. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Christopher Ward C60 Sapphire Edge highly for its striking dial execution and innovative features at its price point.

CWC SBS 1987 Aged Special

Owners widely praise the CWC SBS 1987 Aged Special for its rugged build and military heritage, with some finding its quality comparable to higher-end watches. A reviewer notes the 41mm PVD-coated watch features a bright SuperLuminova dial. One owner reports a bit of play in the 60-click bezel, present from new, alongside minor wear on the PVD coating and bezel insert. On balance, owners rate the CWC SBS 1987 Aged Special highly for its rugged build and military heritage, despite some questioning its value at £700.
