Formex Essence 39 vs Christopher Ward 12
When I think about my two most comfortable and wearable watches on bracelet it is a toss up between my Essence and my 12. Both are feather light and perfectly proportioned for my 6.25in wrist.
If anyone is in the "should I get an integrated bracelet watch or something styled as an integrated bracelet" decision bracket, both are great choices. I think the Formex definitely provides a great bracelet and strap option (I own both) with awesome features for quick change and adjustability. I think the Christopher Ward provides the full integrated experience and I have both bracelet and rubber strap for options.
Not meant as a review but a "which is better value" discussion since they roughly hover on the same price scale and set of dimensions. They are also, from an engineering standpoint, made with the wearer in mind, not so much to feature a movement or technology. Whichever you choose, you won't feel like you missed out on either.
Emerging watch enthusiast. I know just enough to be dangerous to my bank account. Small town kid, joined the military, stuck with it for 21 years, stayed in defense. Greater DC area.

Both of those are more comfortable than the Airking?

Yes and the Air King is comfy but has more heft. The Formex has the floating system and the bracelet is basically half links. The C.W. is light and comfortable.
