They are nice watches but generally overpriced Imo even though customer service is good. Still can pick up a decent watch in their sale

I'd say way underpriced though if you catch a 50% sale when you consider they have the same Swiss movt as a lot of other watches ! Ie Tag Heuer !

are they the same movements or do Tag use in house?
I actually think CW make some nice watches and have owned a couple but think the likes of Steinhart offer better value. You might be able to pick up a lot of watch for the money in the sale though

my first post on here.... but i have a couple of Christopher Ward watches. They are nice watches, decent quality.
They do an automatic with a 5 day power reserve in house movement (SH21).... which is a really long reserve. Most are the usual ETA movements though.
Worth a look especially at the sale prices.

Tempted to get a jump hour torn between 40 and 43mm I own 2 c60s and a makaira pro 500 so the 43mm may be better I think.

Im looking at same watch, have about 9cws from 38mm to 43mm, if i bought this would prob go for 40mm as more of dress watch and i think they look better smaller, prefer my divers bigger

Most Tag movements are not in house. A lot of the Tag models use sellita movements which are also found in some of the Christopher Ward watches.
Steinhart also offer great quality for the money paid.

They do use some of the same ETA auto movements as Tag, ETA 2824 I believe.. many many Swiss watches use this movt though, Tag use a lot of there own eta based modified different movts too though

This is also correct . ETA and Selita are both used

Valid point. I don't own many dress watches of any calibre. Mostly divers tbh. Will give it some thought.
