BODERRYMen's Watch Titanium Automatic Field Watch 40mm Military Watch Day Date Function 100M Waterproof with Nylon Strap Japanese Mechanical Movement & Screw Down Crown—Voyager

The media could not be loaded. Accuracy: -8 to 10 sec seconds each day measure by chrono log.Build quality goodWeight : lightweight easy on he wristStrap: I changed to leather strap. The one with the watch I did not like, works well thoughNo noise with secondsI don’t know if it’s really sapphire crystal glass but seems durable , no scratches . Might have to clean the borders often as the glass sits below the circular face of the watch .Has Chinese day along with English.The crown is locked in place which is awesome .Overall excellent automatic watch for the price. If debating to buy, no doubt go ahead.A very good buy.Nicely done boderry.

Liked my white face khaki strap 40mm Voyager enough to get the red face black strap one. Switching out straps yields 4 nice looks.

I've been a collector for almost 30 years. I mostly have mid-range divers but I've dabbled in just about everything. I would normally not be interested in a Chinese watch but this "boutique" brand caught my attention and I didn't currently have a field watch. Titanium, automatic movement, sapphire crystal, screw down crown at this price point... I figured it was kind of a no brainer. Boy was I right. There is nothing I don't love about this except I don't think it has actual Super-Luminova, hence the 4 stars. So far the Seiko NH35 movement has been more accurate than several of my Prospex Seikos.For those reviewers who experienced a hiccup with the second hand, I've never heard of or seen that happen on any Seiko so unfortunately I think you just got a lemon. The strap that was included with mine is a Zulu which I prefer over a NATO. One of my favorite things is the art deco type flair of the lugs. I've never seen that on any other field watch and it makes this one unique. The online photos don't really do it justice. I forgot to mention that the rings on the strap are actually titanium as well, increasing the value and a nice touch. Buy one - you won't be disappointed. Great job Boderry! Improve your lume and you will be fantastic.

INITIAL IMPRESSION: UPON RECEIVING IT ON 8/30/24 ... I LOVE THIS WATCH !!!RATTLING NOISE:9/6/24: OH NO !!! After 6 days, I hear a rattle inside the watch !!! Was it always there? I don't think so !!! Does anyone hear a rattle in their watch? Please let me know if someone's review mentioned it. Couple of people said it was probably the self winding rotor. Sounds kind of loud. It is a "clunk-clunk" sound (dial face coming towards me and away from me) rather than a "shwoosh-shwoosh" sound of the rotor spinning (shaking in the direction pf 3-9-3-9 o'clock).9/8/24: RETURN and REPLACE.The "clunk-clunk" rattling is just too much for me to tolerate. I really wanted to love this watch. Demoting from 5 stars to 1 star. I am giving it 1 star for the fact that low end mechanical watches are always an acceptable toss of the dice for the industry and its consumers. If the replacement is also bad, then I'll take away the 1 star.9/12/24: Replacement watch ALSO have the clunk-clunk sound! Downgrade from 5 to 1 star.9/14/24: Did more research. Apparently Seiko NH35, and many other movements, the rotor can move up/down when shaken in that direction, resulting in that clunk-clunk rattle I hear. Side to side movement will have the normal shwoosh-shwoosh rotating sound. So, per a couple of YouTube video, it is normal. Upgrading back to 5 stars. The clunk sound is still annoying. Although it is not loud. Only my OCD brain hears it.ACCURACY:21 hours since I received the watch. Slow by 5 seconds. That is considered good since I read that mechanical automatic watches are usually +/-30 seconds per day. My old Russian Vostok speeds up and slows down depending on the time of day and the state of the winding spring. So, different days different time loss or gain. I will check this Boderry Voyager on this issue going forward.9/7/24: Watch #1 ... 29s slow after 187h ..... -3.72 s/d.9/14/24: Watch #2 ... after 44h ..... -25.5 sec ..... -13.87s/d.Installed an app that measures accuracy and displays it as s/d.Watch dial face up lying flat = 0 s/d !!! In normal use, most times during the day, it is 3 or 12 down.3 o'clock down (standing with arm hanging down) = -15 s/d12 o'clock down (sitting at a desk with forearm on the the desk = -15 s/d9/15/24: Watch #2 ... Up till now, I worn the watch 24/7. I reduced the total average over 64 hours, by letting it lie flat for 8 hours last night, to 9.75 s/d. So, how you wear the watch matters a lot. Different for everybody. Some only when they go out, otherwise lie flat. Some 24/7.WRIST STRAP:Comes with a single strap 3 ring Zulu strap. Heavy coarse woven nylon instead of the lighter weight NATO strap. Hardware larger and more heavy duty oval ring compared to a rectangular shaped ring NATO strap. The single strap is quite thick and fits around the spring bars and case tight. The risk of the watch slipping off when removed from the wrist. The tip end of the strap has 2 raised stitching bumps making it more difficult to just slide through the gap between the case and spring bar. The thickness, stiffness, and heavy hardware conveys confidence and robustness. I wish the holes are closer for better resolution in adjustment. One hole is too tight, the next hole is too loose.9/4/24: It's my first time using a Zulu or NATO strap. This Zulu strap keeps the bottom of the watch case off my skin. No more uncomfortable sweat sticking. The strap is breathable makes the skin feels a lot more comfortable than a metal bracelet, or thin tight weaved NATO/Zulu strap, or leather that is tight to the skin.9/14/24: The PIN on the strap buckle does not swing back far enough to allow clearance for the strap to feed through easily. Have to pick it with my finger tip to pull it back for clearance. The slot opening on the strap for the pin to come through was not folded at the right place before stitching. Getting the watch on/off is annoying. Both watch #1 & #2 had the same problem, although strap #1 was not as severe. Annoying. Will do some surgery with a fine tip soldering iron to open up that slot.CASE:I was expecting a weird lightness to the watch but it is heavier than my anticipation. I like the offset crown offset at the 4 o'clock position. Does not dig into my wrist like all my previous watches. My first 'ding' against a kitchen stone countertop left a "shine" mark at the raised edge by the glass that cannot be rub out. That is OK with me ... character. The recessed glass saved the otherwise impact to it. Subjectively, the case looks good. Added a 31mm tempered glass protector for the crystal. Purchased from AliExpress. About $2. Thickness of the glass almost came up to the height of the case rim. Clarity is great. Cannot tell that there is an added glass on top of the crystal.DIAL FACE:I specifically wanted a 13-24 (actually preferred a 00-23) marking. This watch has it. The 1-12 is large font. The 13-24 font is too small. It is my biggest annoyance. The minutes marking ... 5, 10, 15 ... etc., is not necessary. It's font is even smaller. Too tiny, why bother.LUME:Not that good. Not bright and not last a long time.SPRING BAR:Each side has TWO pairs of holes for the spring bar. Not sure why. Maybe I can fit 2 spring bars on each side for some security redundance. We'll see.

It's not a piece of junk - like other Amazon auto-watches I've bought at this price point.It's solid and no-frills, but...It runs a tad fast... or slow... I've never had on that seemed to run both fast and slow... it's a little like living in a time warp some times...The lume isn't NEAR as bright as pictured -- I personally depend on this feature so that was disappointing.Th packing box is cute but a little overkill for my taste, but I didn't grade it based on that... But if there was a star for "cute packaging" this watch gets it; it's like a little working plasic shipping rolloff container.On mine, there is this weird sharp edge around the crystal that seems to attract gunk if I work in the yard...Other than that, it's a good daily wearer.EDITAfter over a year of daily wear and a couple replaced watchbands, it's timekeeping seems to have stabilized to losing about a minute per week, which is pretty good. Five stars.
