    New C Ward Divetimer

    Not my cuppa but I’m sure some will like it. £495 on rubber and £600 on bracelet.

    Feels a bit derivative of the Mido Ocean Star, quite like it though.

    Again, not my cup of tea, but not bad. I like the thin dive bezels on this range.

    Thought it looked really nice reminded me of the Vulcain watch but about 2k cheaper. Probably the first CW I have seen recently I want to buy especially at such a decent price and no doubt even better with a 100 quid off voucher

    Good point, at £395 on the excellent rubber it's a really decent buy.

    It says 'Christopher Ward' on the dial.

    I used to feel like that until I owned a couple.

    Have you not owned several of their watches?

    £100 voucher expired yesterday, and watch was released today.
    You will have to wait for the next voucher to come along and since it is limited to 150 watches, hope there is one left.

    Years ago I had a couple. Not owned any for at least 7 years.

    I don't like them. I don't like the logo, the marketing guff, the business model … pretty much everything about them. So shoot me

    Mostly agree with you and likewise, had a few of them but not bought one for years for many of the reasons you mention above. Thats pretty much the reason why I say this one is one of the first I have seen that may tempt me to buy (Decent price, good retro look....)

    As for the voucher thing, those seem to come out every other month so I dont expect to wait too long for the next discount.

    Hand wound - 150 metres depth rating, luminous bezel?
    On about all the usual points of a dive watch it falls short.

    I think you have to spend £500.00 minimum to get the £100.00 off but the bracelet one would work.

    It’s a decent price but it’s just a bit on the ugly side I think, CW really are churning out bang average pieces atm

    It feels like a bit of a parts bin special. Hands, bezel crown and bracelet seem to be lifted from the c65 chrono, I think that’s a standard light catcher case from any of the other divers.

    Only the dial is new and although that’s the selling piece of the watch, it doesn’t do much for me.maybe some different colours?

    Contrary to others’ comments, I think CW are hitting their stride, though this one misses the mark in my opinion.
