Don't often have cause to post in here, as although I like a decent watch, I don't tend to be a collector, nor have I owned anything particularly swish.
I've worn a practical Citizen Eco-drive for the last 8 years or so, but as it was my birthday recently, my girlfriend offered to buy me a nice replacement as a gift. I liked the look of Christopher Ward, they seem to be a nice blend of style, decent quality, and not hideously expensive that I would baulk at wearing one everyday. I went for the C60 Elite 1000 with rubber-back textile strap (I've always worn metal bracelets but wanted to move away from those).
Very happy with it, think this is my first watch with a proper Swiss movement. Feels nice on the wrist; the casing is heavier and larger than my old Citizen, but with no metal strap, it feels lighter and less rattly overall. Everything about it feels quality as well...the bezel action, the smoothness of the action, etc...not something I'm used to. Shame my photography skills aren't up to the same quality, but you get the idea.
Not a patch on some of the stuff everyone else owns, but I am delighted with it
