Which is better for everyday wear?

The Classic. At 5 mm it is light, and buyers say it is comfortable enough to forget you're wearing it. The Heavy at 18 mm weighs about 517 g.

Which looks more expensive?

The Heavy. Its 10 to 18 mm widths read as a statement piece, and buyers say it is not cheap looking. The Classic is subtler at 5 mm.

Does either come with a warranty?

No. The Classic lists no written warranty, and the Heavy states none. Both are stainless steel, which resists tarnish and rust.

Is the Heavy worth the extra weight?

Only if you want a bold chain. At 18 mm and 34 in it weighs about 517 g, which most people notice within an hour. For daily wear the Classic is the safer pick.

Which has a better clasp?

The Classic uses a stainless steel lobster claw. The Heavy uses a brass clasp, which is softer and can wear faster than the steel chain.

How do the ratings compare?
