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

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.

One of my favorite watches. Quality build. May need some watch lubricant on the stem to operate correctly when brand new.

Recibí este reloj hace un par de semanas. El paquete llegó sin el manual de usuario. A pesar de esto el soporte tecnico de boderry me envio una imagen para configurar el reloj.El reloj tiene una construcción sólida, los terminados y la sensacion que transmite vale la pena. Al ser un reloj automatico hay que estar monitoreando su precision mensualmente. El unico factor negativo de este reloj es el lume o su luminiscencia nocturna, ya que es bastante pobre y no dura mucho.Por otro lado, la carcasa no se ha rayado a pesar de habet recibido algunos impactos y el cristal es de muy buena calidad!Reloj ideal para alguien que trabaje con sus manos y quiera algo sólido!A mejorar la luminiscencia noctura para que sea un reloj de campo completo.

Really nice watch for the money!!! I’m usually a citizen eco drive guy but… this is my new everyday time piece!!! Very impressive subtle piece!!!

Couldn't be happier with the purchase. I am honestly shocked at how many featuresthey were able to pack into this watch and still only charge $99. Yes, as others have mentioned, the lume is not great, but that is really the only negative that I've seen since far. If you are looking for a quality mechanical time piece on a budget, this is a great choice.

Had been looking for an everyday, anywhere kinda watch and this Boderry Voyager fits the bill nicely. However, in the vein of that old Western movie, there’s some good, some bad, and some ugly to share about my purchase:The Good:The value of this watch is off the charts! $99 USD for a well designed, sophisticated looking field watch with precise printing on a flawless white dial, AR coated sapphire crystal that enhances legibility and virtually disappears at oblique angles, very lightweight and well finished titanium case with no sharp edges and perfectly sandblasted, Seiko NH35 movement with hacking and a date function tastefully placed at the 4 o’ clock position in alignment with the well proportioned signed crown; an absolutely incredible value!The Bad:It took 3 deliveries to finally obtain a brand new, properly packaged watch! I guess the adage “third time’s the charm” became an unpleasant reality for me.For anyone interested in purchasing a Boderry watch, in order to make sure what you have received is actually new and not a return, verify the following three criteria:1. The watch itself is fitted with a clear plastic protective film adhered to the crystal and extending to the bezel and lugs.2. The watch box includes the watch (seems obvious but you’ll see why I mention this later), a warranty card and the owner’s manual.3. The watch box is neatly wrapped in two clear plastic bags, one inside the other. The outer bag has a label with a bar code, numerical code and written product description. The inner bag has another label with only a bar code and the same numerical code but no product description.My first 2 deliveries failed to meet these criteria with sloppily opened and re-taped clear inner bag, missing outer bag, missing owner’s manual, missing protective film, and now for the kicker:The Ugly:In my first delivery, the watch itself was missing! Yep, a watch box with only the owner’s manual and warranty card inside but no watch! The watch box was sloppily wrapped and re-taped in a torn inner clear plastic bag only and no outer bag.My second delivery included a watch, thankfully, but the owner’s manual was missing. Seemed suspicious, especially after the first delivery. The watch also lacked a protective plastic film; second red flag! After assessing the accuracy over the span of four days, the watch ran slow so everything points to this being a returned watch sold and shipped as new.Needless to say, this used and defective watch was returned. Thanks to a kind and helpful Amazon customer service associate, I now have a proper new watch, something I should have had in the first place.I have attached a photo of the watch, showing the protective film and all the contents that are supposed to be included (including the two clear plastic bags, lol). I hope this review is helpful to other Amazon customers and hope it serves to help stop these shenanigans!

Rarely take it off. Accurate and tough. Love the design, readability, and hacking functionality. Very impressed with this automatic mechanical movement for the relatively inexpensive price tag. No question, it's a value.
