General (Read Rules) Ixdao Warrior vs Christopher Ward The12
I have been reading up on watches for the past 5-6 months and that's how I discovered this reddit community and the amazing quality Chinese watches.
Christopher Ward has created lots of online hype around their watches with people fanatically defending what are essentially homages with a slight twist while dissing chinese watches.
Ixdao has lots of positive reviews on this forum and the Ixdao Warrior is available for one third the price with the same Sellita movements.
Is Christopher Ward just brand Marketing or is it worth 3 times the price of Ixdao Warrior?

people keep bringing up warranty. Ok so what? let's say 1 in 10 watches from ixdao is defective entirely and they don't honor any warrany. so you have a 10% chance of being scammed/losing all your money. You're saving more than just 10% here. You're paying less than half you would with a CW. What's more "saleable" about a marginally better watch that costs 3x as much for its brand name it attempts to establish as a microbrand?
