Which is better for a small wrist?

The Christopher Ward. Its 38mm and 40mm cases, 11.5mm height and 49.3mm lug-to-lug fit smaller wrists far better than the Tissot's single 43mm, 12.7mm case.

Which has the longer power reserve?

The Tissot. Its Powermatic 80 runs up to 80 hours; the Christopher Ward's Sellita SW200-1 runs about 38 hours.

Is the Christopher Ward worth the extra money?

If it costs more, you pay for the slimmer case, ceramic bezel, choice of four case sizes and exhibition caseback. If price matters most, the Tissot gives 300m and sapphire for less.

Do both work for diving?

Both are rated to 300m with a unidirectional bezel and sapphire crystal, so both suit recreational diving. The Christopher Ward adds a ceramic bezel insert.

Which is lighter on the wrist?

The Christopher Ward. It is 11.5mm thick and marketed as lighter; the Tissot weighs about 180g on its steel bracelet.

Both use proven Swiss automatic movements and last decades with servicing. The Tissot's longer reserve means less wear on the movement if you rotate watches.

Christopher Ward C60 Trident Pro 300 Automatic vs Tissot Seastar 1000 Powermatic 80

Both are 300m steel dive watches with automatic movements and sapphire crystals. The Christopher Ward C60 Trident Pro 300 is the better everyday watch: slimmer at 11.5mm, shorter lug-to-lug at 49.3mm, and offered in 38, 40, 42 and 44mm cases. The Tissot Seastar 1000 Powermatic 80 wins on power reserve (up to 80 hours versus 38) and typically costs less, but it comes only in a 43mm case at 12.7mm thick and about 180g.
