Christopher Ward C60 Sapphire EdgevsSpinnaker Hass Automatic

Owners widely praise the Christopher Ward C60 Sapphire Edge for its elevated deep blue sapphire dial, innovative lumed rubber strap, and slim 42mm case, offering incredible value. The Sellita SW300-1 movement's hand-winding action is described as buttery smooth, and the watch's thinness contributes to fantastic wearability. Reviewers note the sapphire bezel and the striking, translucent dial execution, which some find superior to other transparent dials for its view of the movement. However, one owner reported their dial cracked from the inside during regular use, and the brand denied warranty repair. The Christopher Ward C60 Sapphire Edge is priced at US$1,195 on rubber or US$1,315 on bracelet. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Christopher Ward C60 Sapphire Edge highly for its innovative dial and strap design combined with exceptional value.

Owners widely praise the Spinnaker Hass Automatic for its quality and vibrant dial options at an accessible price point. The watch features a Seiko NH35 automatic movement and 300m water resistance. Some owners find Spinnaker watches, including the Hass Automatic, to be on the thicker side, with one user noting a previous model was considered comically large. One owner reported a quality issue with a different Spinnaker model where the crown detached. Overall, owners rate the Spinnaker Hass Automatic highly for its impressive build quality and fun aesthetic relative to its price.
