I have two Christopher Ward watches - they are both very attractive and I want to be an advocate ...however.. problems with my first watch continues after buying a second watch so too late to change my mind but as I say love the design and i BOUGHT into the branding .....but my first watch has now had 7 ? batteries in as many years and has had to be returned for some replacement with its operation ....I will say i have had monies re-credited towards the latest batteries circa £22 I have so far written to the Company and to Mr Ward in person on at least three occasions but thus far have not had the courtesy of a reply - not even a "get lost" all i was doing was asking if there was something wrong - should the watch have needed so may replacement batteries in this time This saga has been going on for several months and after talking to friends reluctantly in frustration have now taken their advice as it has disappointed me ................
