Great representation of the Brand

Was very excited to visit the ever so popular Christopher Ward brand in their showroom in Falls Church VA, and seeing those watches in person confirmed how special they just are. Brandon and Jason were very delightful and genuine in portraying their passion for the brand and a pleasure to deal with.

The look of the watch just landed well…

The look of the watch just landed well with me— the right thing at the right time. It was a step up in tens of price from what I usually buy, but on receipt it was everything I hoped it would be. The photos I think did it justice… sometimes colors are not what you think. With a particularly colored dial it’s crucial to represent it correctly, and CW did well there. I was inclined at first to want a tan band to go with the pistachio dial— so maybe giving buyers that option at check it would be nice. That said, for anyone else who might suspect the black leather isn’t your preference for that color face, I would just suggest that you give it a minute. You’d be surprised. This watch looks wonderful with a black shirt, and the black leather band makes the dial pop nicely. I bought some tan and suede straps in anticipation of the watch being delivered, but I’ve been so pleased with the black that I haven’t bothered to put on the others yet. The black leather is also a very high quality band… nice feel and finish. Even if I were to swap it out to match different shirts, it’s still going to end up on the black again for maximum contrast.

We are glad you enjoyed your experience with your new timepiece and that it met all of your expectations upon arrival. It is wonderful to hear that the dial color matched what you saw online, as we work hard to ensure our photography accurately reflects the true shades of our products. We also appreciate your thoughtful feedback regarding the strap choices during checkout, and we will certainly keep your suggestion about offering additional band options in mind for future improvements. It is great that the original dark strap surprised you with how well it complements the unique dial and your wardrobe, even after you prepared alternative options. Knowing that the quality, finish, and high contrast of the leather made such a positive impression brings us great joy. Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed thoughts and recommendations with our team and fellow enthusiasts.

How Christopher Ward Delivered For This Customer

My wife pre-ordered a Christopher Ward C60 Trident Biscay GMT 39mm on Consort bracelet for my birthday, with shipping scheduled by mid-October. When I received the watch (a couple of days ahead of schedule), it was on a nice leather strap instead of the bracelet. I assumed there was a likely explanation, so I unpacked, set and began enjoying a beautiful timepiece. When I contacted CW the next day, Customer Care Manager Emma Lynch responded promptly, letting me know that there had been a QC issue with the Consort bracelet. Rather than delay my watch by several weeks, CW elected to put it on a $100+ Vintage Oak leather strap instead and ship as scheduled. The Consort will ship by end of October at no extra charge, and I can also keep the leather strap. An email had been sent earlier explaining this- to my wife, who isn't very attentive to email, and didn't see it. I was very pleased with this proactive approach to customer service. Honestly, many other companies would have just delayed the shipment further with little explanation. Any watch enthusiasts can deal with Christopher Ward with confidence that they will be treated as an important part of their business.

Happy birthday, and thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We are glad you enjoyed your overall experience and that your new timepiece arrived ahead of your special day.

We appreciate your understanding regarding the initial strap variation. Our goal is always to deliver exceptional quality, and when our final inspections revealed an issue with the original metal band, we chose to send your watch on a premium leather option so you wouldn't have to wait to enjoy your gift. We are pleased to know that our team's swift response and solution met your expectations, and we hope you truly enjoy having both strap options for your collection.

It means a lot to us that our commitment to proactive communication and service resonated with you. We remain dedicated to ensuring our community of watch enthusiasts feels valued every step of the way. Thank you once again for your kind words and trust in our brand. We look forward to serving you again in the future.

High quality. Good price. Easy personalization.

I learned about Christopher Ward through the typical watch nerd blogs. When it came time to buy a watch to commemorate the birth of my first child the option to factory engrave their name and DOB made the decision easy. I had never seen a CW watch in person and was very impressed with the quality and finishing compared to similarly priced watches.I will definitely be looking at other CW watches in the future.

Congratulations on the birth of your first child! We are truly honored that you chose one of our timepieces to commemorate such a milestone moment for your family.

It is wonderful to hear that the custom engraving helped make the occasion even more special, and that you were so pleased with the quality and finishing upon seeing the watch in person. Thank you for your kind words, and we look forward to helping you select your next piece in the future.

The entire process went very well

The entire process went very well. I would just like to suggest an improvement or change to the sales process though I’m not sure if this is feasible for Brazil or other countries. For instance, Venezianico uses a "duties included" (DDP) model, where taxes are already built into the price or pre-paid. This simplifies the customs process with the shipping carrier and ensures the total cost is clear at the time of purchase, with no surprises. Implementing this could be an opportunity to expand sales within the Brazilian community; for example, I already know three people who might be interested. Otherwise, everything was sensational, and the piece itself is a real gem. I absolutely love it, and my wife is even interested in getting one for herself.

We are glad you enjoyed your experience with us and are so pleased to hear how much you love your new timepiece. We are also delighted to know that your wife is admiring the piece as well. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback and for recommending us to your friends.

We appreciate your thoughtful suggestion regarding the international shipping and customs process for Brazil. We recognize that unexpected import duties can create extra steps for our customers, and we understand how a delivery duty paid approach makes the overall purchasing experience smoother and more transparent. We are constantly looking for ways to refine our international logistics, and we will certainly share your idea about pre-paid taxes with our operations team as we evaluate options to better serve our growing Brazilian community.

Your insights are extremely valuable to us as we work to improve our services worldwide. Thank you once again for your kind words about the craftsmanship of our product and for helping us enhance our customer journey. We look forward to serving you and your family again in the future.

Elegant and stylish

Bought my second CW watch, an elegant pistachio Sealander C63. I love it. The new (to me) strap adjustment is easily and takes a lot of bother away. I am impressed.

I am absolutely blown away by my new…

I am absolutely blown away by my new 36mm Christopher Ward C63 Sealander in Sky Blue. The watch itself is completely flawless—the striking pastel lacquer dial looks incredible in person, and the overall fit, finish, and attention to detail punch way above its weight class.
The buying experience was just as impressive. Shipping was immensely quick, arriving much faster than expected. 10 out of 10 stars, I couldn't be happier with this purchase and will definitely be buying from Christopher Ward again.

I had a wonderful experience with CW

I had a wonderful experience with CW. When I needed to update my watch specifications during the pre-order stage, the support team took care of everything quickly and professionally.
I live in a small town in Brazil, so I was genuinely surprised by how fast the delivery was. And, of course, the watch is absolutely amazing. I couldn't be happier with my purchase!

Beautiful watch

Beautiful watch, bracelet is great. The tooless change between bracelet and strap are great. The only improvement I would say, is make the rubber strap a bit more heavy duty. It’s very comfortable, but a bit flimsy.
