I have had a few of each, but having a reasonable size collection I rarely notice time keeping to the second.
All I can say is I've never had an issue with either.
Just wondering if these two really are comparable? And for anyone who owns an SW200 watch, what is the best sort of start price you can find to get into a timepiece with this movement?
Also is time keeping really more impressive in real life. For those with NH35a based watches what sort of time variations are you getting compared to an ETA2824 or NH35a watch?

I don't think there'll be any difference between an ETA 2824 and Sellita 200, they're virtually identical. Much depends on the health of the movement and how well it's been adjusted and regulated. I can usually improve positional variation on these by playing with the Etachron adjustor, sometimes they're adjusted correctly but often they aren`t. Definitely not a job to attempt if you don`t know what you're doing, it's what I do after servicing them to get the best performance.
As for the NH35, it's OK but not in the same league as the others. If regulated properly and set in beat properly (often they're out) they're OK but they're always sensitive to wear pattern by the owner in my experience, precision varies significantly if they're not kept in a high state of wind.
My CW C65 Trident Vintage MkII has this Sellita movement and I’ve had no problems with it at all. Timekeeping is excellent (+9s over 7 days when worn) from what I’ve seen so far.
Oh, and CW had a January sale where some watches with this movement were like £300. Amazing value in my opinion.

It's highly unlikely you will be able to tell the difference between the two as they are virtually identical in both function, dimensions and performance.
Wow £300 for an SW200-1 watch... amazing!??? Is sale still on?
There's only leftovers now, so nothing that great in the ''half price'' sale. But there's a couple in the ''nearly new'' - https://www.christopherward.co.uk/ev...e2/nearly-new3
This looks like a bargain. This is the MkI Trident but same Sellita movement as the MkII.

Also there’s a few nice clearance ones on the CW website.
