Okay, so I’ve been eyeing this Christopher Ward Trident watch for a while now. I finally pulled the trigger and bought one, and man, it’s been a journey. First off, I spent days, maybe even weeks, just browsing their website. They’ve got a ton of watches, but the Trident just spoke to me, you know?
So, I finally clicked that “buy” button. I did this without knowing too much about Christopher Ward. Turns out, the brand had some news back in 2020 about the departure of a guy named Christopher Ward. Seemed like a big deal, but I was too focused on getting my watch.
The waiting game was tough. Every day I was checking the tracking info, refreshing the page like a madman. Finally, it arrived! I ripped open that box like a kid on Christmas morning. And there it was, my brand-new Trident. It came on this rubber strap they call “Aquaflex,” which is actually pretty comfy.
Then I started digging into the details. It is important for me to know what I bought. It turns out, each watch has this thing called the SH21 movement, and it’s been certified as a chronometer. I guess that means it’s super accurate. They test it for over 15 days to make sure it only gains or loses a few seconds per day. They say this puts it in the top 6% of Swiss-made watches for accuracy. Pretty cool, right?
I also found out that Christopher Ward sells like 25,000 watches a year, and they only sell them directly to customers online. No middlemen, no fancy stores. Just straight from them to you. Most of their customers are in the UK and the US. They’re all about that direct-to-consumer thing. And every single watch is handmade in Switzerland. You know, that place famous for making awesome watches. They have all these talented watchmakers there.
And this movement, the heart of the watch, they call it the Sellita SW300-1. Sounds fancy. Apparently, it is a chronometer movement too.
But let’s be real, the best part is just wearing it. It feels solid on my wrist, looks great with pretty much anything I wear, and I’ve been getting compliments on it left and right. It’s definitely become my go-to watch, and I’m already thinking about which Christopher Ward I might get next.
So, yeah, that’s my Christopher Ward Trident story. It has been quite the experience, from the obsessive browsing to the anxious waiting to the finally getting it on my wrist. And now, I’m a believer. This watch is the real deal. I’m really glad I grabbed one. They seem to know what they’re doing, even if they don’t have any retail stores. You can feel it in the quality. All in all, it has been an interesting time with this watch. I’m pretty sure I’ll be wearing it for a good long while.
