I’ll never buy a watch over $700 with a NH35. How can you justify buying a watch that has a movement you can replace for $25. It’s getting embarrassing that the Chinese are selling watches for hundreds cheaper with the same specs. I don’t even know if a SW200 is worth it. Of all my watches, I have an Oceanus that’s gorgeous and gets most wrist time, that can find my Phone!

1:13:00, FREE WATCH ALARM 🎉🎉

I love the logo just wish the indices were bigger or different at 3, 6 and 9

black text on yellow, wud hv been much better.

A leader or a man of action in a crisis almost always acts subconsciously and then thinks of the reasons for his action.

Some bathing suits just shouldn’t be worn by some people.

If only CW didn't have this weird hand designs...

I have the C60 Sapphire (now discontinued, I think), more or less that watch, but with a translucent blue dial which shows the movement underneath, like a machine under water. So it's the classic tool watch with a cool interesting dial. It also has 600m water resistance, but is 14mm thick. I would gladly give up 300m for a case a couple of millimeters thinner.

You can't go wrong with a CW.

9:50 - if you don’t travel then I agree with you but since I travel a lot; I like the cities name instead of 24 hour marker.

Display caseback on a diver is a big no no for me. And I find the logo tacky, unfortunately.

Looking at the Orient Kamasu on my wrist, realizing some of the resemblances of the two, of course Orient being the much cheaper version.

I really don't get the logo criticisms, I think the logo is brilliant and they've finally nailed it.

The market is so washed up with divers Its a snooze honestly. I have a white orient usa diver just like this. Fraction of price. Gotta snooze again. Srry

Yes, yes, yes. The duty taxes are a killer! I was shocked as well the first time I bought a Christopher Ward. Now, I hear they are opening a shop in the US so...

Hi shane, terrific video on the Christopher Ward watch. You are the only reviewer I have seen who has mentioned the duty tax issue. I was hoping that with some sort of a coupon discount like wise as that the price point could be under $1000. Now, we are talking about $1200. While the watch is excellent, the price makes you think a little more if you live in the U.S.

Right on. Well done review. I have had one in blue and 42mm for over a year and am still in love. 42mm is my go to size for divers but I think I would order down to 40mm. The bezel is slim and the case is such that slightly smaller might fit my 7.125-.25" wrist a bit better. Still a keeper though.

Not another CW video. There are so many others.

I dunno, but my C60 Atoll, really stands out in my divers collection. It's does get maybe too much attention, especially with that constantly sparkly bezel.

Getting watch fatigue yet?

Another review that is right on in all its points. Great watch, but if you already have several basic divers, do you need another one that is a little better, but adds nothing in originality? It was more appealing when the prices were lower or back when CW gave discounts. Still, I don't think you can get anything better at this price. But my next watch may be a Wise.

Marc at LIW recently opined that 9015 > SW200 as well.

Hey ! Love the POV. I feel the same about this watch. BTW, what vario bund strap is it exactly ? Yours seems to have like a gorgeous greenish hue i cannot find on the pictures on their webstite. Do you know its exact ref name (crazy horse, muddy grey etc) ? Also, it is the 20mm version right ?

People don’t want someone’s name on the dial, but…what about “Seiko” …

Great review as always Shane.👌🏼Now about the watch, well, it’s a bit vanilla for me. 😮😳

Con: they sponsor Everton FC

All the bad vibe experts gave Ginault with his watches but not a single homage bullshit to these guys. Lovely watch but the price...... I went with Ginault and boy! That is a quality watch. I got them both.

cw is more value than seiko

Lately, CW's customer service has been lackluster for more than a few customers, me being one of them. Its very frustrating and they really need to find a way to get a HQ of some sorts in the US, as we are the country that buys the most CW products, according to CW.

Great introduction to CW, beautiful camera work.

I have 3 Wise watches, now, I need a CW.

Honestly, i loved the design of the older Trident 600 much better. That ceramic bezel was perfect. The 300 looks like a downgrade for my preferences.

You mean, does the perfect desk diver exist? Must be, because this thing is pretty useless as an actual diver...

Thanks for the great review and your thoughts. My first foray into entry level luxury watches will most likely be a CW. Or I’ll buy 7 more kits from SKXMOD… thanks again!

I have the same CW watch, but in green. It's a really good watch. You should try getting Formex to review. I would be curious of your opinion of it.

Great video

When CW had more discount codes, buying the C60 in 2 parts and orders, one on a 2-pc strap with significant discount to get under $800 and another buying the SS bracelet separately, was a way to get around the import tax. They don't do discounts anymore it seems , though 😢 I owned this watch before. In many ways it was the perfect diver. But, some of your points did equate to me not keeping it for long. I just didn't gravitate towards it as sure as I thought I would. It's a great watch. It just didn't stimulate my mind and heart in the end after getting it. Specs and value aren't everything. For me, oddly, perfection seemed boring in this case. I feel maybe a little quirk or detail that is niche or maybe generates a bit of a marmite effect can make a watch more attractive, strangely. Something that is not necessarily meant or catered for everyone nor the masses. Sometimes...

That logo is something I really don’t like.

The teeth on the SW200 gears are better designs for longevity

I disagree with you about the logo on the dial, but then again, I figured it out when I first saw it.

Really good review Shane. Thanks

Import duty will still be applicable to CW watches even if brought in to the US and sold by a main dealership store, unfortunately. Same applies in for us the UK if buying anything from the States, and also now the EU since Brexit.

Like the CW watch, love that black and orange strap. Where did you get that? Thanks for the review.

Such a beautiful watch. I would rather pick the C65 Aquitaine.

I would agree it is the perfect diver. Functional tool esthetic and yet attractive enough to wear for dress up occasions. The case is special, both attractive to look at and great wearing on wrist with the deeply curved lugs. I have the C60 Pro 600 and always enjoy putting it on wrist. If I did not have it, I would not hesitate to get the 300 which is a newer, thinner iteration.

Had the black dial [42mm], but sold it as I've never really connected with CW as a brand. Still regret it a bit though, it was a stunning and well-made watch.😏

It’s very nice and I need a white dial but soulless for me .

So the logo is not a Space Invaders reference?

Price setting is the same way around, when we buy from US brands, and US brands has also raised prices..

Fantastic video 😃👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻, CW is top 👌🏻
