I totally plan on getting the 40mm version in white as soon as I can! I had already planned on buying the bracelet separately to avoid the customs charges. For anyone who doesn't know, if you don't go over $800, you don't have to pay customs, so you'll actually come out about $100 ahead. There is also a 10% discount floating around you can use on the bracelet as well to save a little more! Great review as always, Rob!

I bought the 40mm in blue with the bracelet and the blue/orange rubber strap. Fantastic watch! I've worn it every day for the past two weeks and can't get enough of it. My first CW. I never liked their logo being their name. But love the new logo and the new watch! The micro adjust took a little getting used to, but once I learned the "trick" it works great. I love being able to resize as my wrist swells and shrinks from day to day or sometimes, hour to hour.

That's what I prefer to do with automatics anyway.

Yeah, I think the current light catcher case that's on this model is pretty much as perfect as you can get. I can't imagine seeing any real significant improvements over where they have right now. I had to go with the white dial version, also. But, in 40 mm. It's too bad they don't offer the orange rubber strap for the smaller versions. Only for the 42 mm. As such, I went with the hybrid strap with the watch and with the $125 off. And, ordered the bracelet separately. Got to have the bracelet with this watch also. Additionally, I believe the newest version of this bracelet has an even greater taper to about 16mm as well which is nice.

Do you know if I’d have to pay duties cos of that 2.90 over 800? I have a 7” wrist and kinda wanting a 40mm. The site says the 42mm is like the same weight though (both lighter than the C60 Ti Elite…which to me…they kinda shot them selves in the foot there cos you can get a lighter watch for about 400 usd cheaper).

Christopher Ward watches are a waste of your money. It’s a wanna be British brand that does not understand design. Ugly, unoriginal models. They are not expensive , but then by the time you service the watch a couple of times throughout its lifetime you’ve spent the same amount as on the watch. And I don’t understand the fascination of owning a mechanical watch with a mass produced movement that does not cost much more than a good high torque quartz movement . If you want an automatic watch , save up and buy a good pre owned automatic watch from a major brand . This just screams I want a nice automatic watch but can’t or won’t spend the coin on one with a better movement from a big brand with history .I’d rather wear a Citizen diver Promaster 200 Eco drive. No need for expensive servicing , no need for battery replacement , better design in my opinion and a LOT cheaper . If you ve got the coin I’d get a pre owned late 90’s early 2000’s Rolex Submariner date or no date for around 10 grand . If you can’t afford 10 grand , stick to Solar or battery powered quartz, until you have the money .

For starters, some people don't have the money to buy a second-hand watch nor do they want to. Part of the pleasure is owning your first automatic watch, your comments come across as condescending and out of touch. Secondly many people who own watches from big brands also own CW's, I like the design, clearly many others do also. I have a Rolex DateJust, Submariner , Breitling Chronomat but I still love the CW brand, it's amazing value for money. It's a shame that people feel the need to disparage those that don't have £10k to spend on a watch and try to discourage them from enjoying automatic watches at a price point they can afford. It costs nothing to be nice.
