Quartz watches for me!
I''ve bought and sold too many watches over the past 12 years or so. In that time I've sampled 14 CW watches both autos and quartz. I've concluded that I like quartz better as they don't require continuous fettling to keep the correct time. I use tool watches only as I want to time fairly mundane things like how long my tea has been brewing. So that's what makes my day - fiddling with a rotating bezel or the chrono. Currently my only CW is a C60 Trident Pro 300. I particularly like the 12 'o' clock sub-dial for its ease of reading and its hour and minute clock. I also like the red chrono hands to make it very clear which hands do what. Sadly I understand that CW have stopped doing quartz watches. Which means I'm having to look elsewhere eg Omologato, Forzo (which looks like a dead company now), and watches on the Geckota site. I'm trying to stick to British watches, of course!
Re: Quartz watches for me!
I think this is the only quartz in the CW collection at the moment:

Re: Quartz watches for me!
An interesting dilemma.
As Rich suggests CW's only current quartz watch is the C63 Valour. However, you can always check out CW's extensive back catalogue on the CWArchive to see what you might have missed.
Thinking of other British brands, it will be worth checking out Elliot Brown Watches . Most of their models are quartz and they major on the tool / adventure front.

Re: Quartz watches for me!
Keep an eye out in SC and perhaps on Ebay for Farer watches. They previously produced quartz watches, including a few chronos if i'm not mistaken.
Maybe worth posting a WTB.
