At the moment i have about 60 watches in my collection, including 3 CW and 10+ seiko's, ranging from a vintage Pogue through Prospex right down to staight up 7002 auto beaters so i am not "talking the talk" - i am talking about a topic that i consider to have some knowledge about, in stark contrast to your comments to date.

The watch industry regards CW as an entry level luxury product that offers outstanding value. This consensus is also prevalent among most (exclude Archie Luxury as he is certifiably nuts) experts and customers that have owned a CW product. They even have the strap line "the worlds most affordable luxury watches".

To assert they are overpriced is flat out wrong.

The Rhonda movement used here is extremely accurate, robust and proven performer and is often fitted in watches that are considerably more expensive. In most cases, short of some extremely rare complications (Tourbillon etc..) only a very small proportion of the cost of any watch is made up by the movement. Most automatic watches that the general public consider "expensive" normally contain a bog standard ETA 2824-2.

You pay for the fit, finish and brand on the watch. Mainly the brand.

For £100 this watch will be vastly superior to its Seiko counterpart, that is not an opinion its a fact. Hold a £100 Seiko sideways and admire the strap sag and hair plucking linkages - you will probably have mineral glass or if your lucky "hardlex" (Seiko's owe value proposition). You certainly will not have a decent anti-reflective Sapphire crystal.

I am a massive Seiko fan but your suggestion that at this price point it is comparable to the C5 is also flat out wrong. Also this is a dress watch and despite their multiple attempts Seiko have not successfully cracked the dress watch market, short of the Grand seiko price point. They are very much a rugged sport / utility brand.

Really!? Would much rather have a Christopher Ward on my wrist than a Citizen or Seiko!

I would keep collecting the novelty socks, whilst your at it buy some fetching white sports socks... and jog on.

Stick to your iPhone. It is evident that you do not have a "scooby doo" about the topic. Do you buy all of your jewelry from Argos or just the classy pieces for special occasions?

Cheap for a C5

Classic watch by a quality brand. Voted hot. 100 quid will not buy you better imo.

Why is the movement decent

It's just a fairly bog standard quartz movement - you can buy them for about a tenner. And that's singly.

Really like Christopher Ward, very large range all the way up to complex movements.

About all it is worth really. For £100 there are loads of quartz watches about. I lke some of Christopher ward watches but they are way over priced.

Yes, really it is. better off picking up a citizen or seiko from argos, loads to choose from at £100, at least your friends/workmates would have heard of these brands.
