Always cheering for CW because of how they deliver so much for the price and how committed they seem to be to improving the brand. It's nice to see they're getting their due. They're moving up as a result of persistence, hard work, and listening to their customers. Glad they ditched the redundant, asymmetric branding on the dial. Keep it up CW!

CW these days are offering watches of the quality Tudor were 6 or 7 years ago when they were still using Sellita & ETA movements. They are also an ecologically friendly company, using 95% sustainable packaging and sponsoring lots of eco projects. Prices capped at 3x production gives the consumer great value, quality of the watches is excellent and they have really really established their own design DNA with the twin flag logo and light catcher case. British design, Swiss made, 60/60 guarantee, a CEO that engages with fans instead of being some faceless conglomerate - I honestly think they are showing everyone else how it’s done, excellent brand.

I was gifted my first ever watch which was CW moonglow (which got me into watches) all because I'm from an enviro science background and at the time CW donated a percentage of purchases to a marine biology cause. I'm super happy they're still doing it, so I might start to buy more from CW

I love the comments comparisons with other watches. For me, this looks like what would happen if a Tissot PRX and a Baume et Mercier Riviera had a baby. I love an integrated bracelet. My Ebel Wave chronograph is one of my favourite watches. The only thing stopping me considering this watch is my fat wrist. The last 40mm ended up in my wife's jewellery box. Hoping a 42mm, Ti, integrated is on the design bench. Did anyone else spot the ant at 4:48?
