BODERRY Men'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/d 12 o'clock down (sitting at a desk with forearm on the the desk = -15 s/d 9/15/24: 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.

A very nice watch, very light. The lume is ok, not very strong but lasts enough. I have a thin wrist, so I was afraid it would look very large, but it fits perfectly, although I have to tight the strap a little bit; this is not a problem since the strap is really comfortable. The look of the case is amazing, the titanium looks great.

I've had the watch for 14 days now; it is as advertised and recommended by outdoor enthusiasts seen online. What I like about the watch is the simple approach to a low cost automatic watch. I've had the watch underwater, in rainy conditions and it has performed very well. For the price, this is a can't miss watch. Pros...looks very nice, fits well, performs well in all conditions, does not feel cheap, and I like the dial protections, sapphire crystal very nice, titanium very light too, barely notice it on your wrist Cons...lume markers not very bright after 15 min but still readable hrs later, kind of wish the dial was a little bit larger but I get it for $129 Movement...the watch I have loses 1 min per week on average, not a big deal to me but the movement will depend largely on your activity level but that is the case even with $5000 automatic movement watches

Ya know, for a little over 100$, you can't beat this watch. I work construction, and It's held up way better than expected. -Titanium is machined well, lightweight, and sturdy. It's been banged up pretty good, and it's barely marked -The watch and strap weigh just about nothing, so it's quite comfortable -Sapphire glass doesn't have a scratch! -it runs 5-10 seconds slow a day (well within spec of the nh35) And on top of all that, it looks great

Great. What a Value....

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!

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. EDIT After 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. SECOND EDIT. Well, it lasted EXACTLY One year and six months practically to the day, then it started leaking water. I'm gonna try and buy another and see how that goes...

First the good things. 1) The watch wears well. The shape of the lugs makes it feel like it's smaller than it is. 2) The finish of the case is excellent. 3) The face is easy to read (in daylight). 4) The NATO-style strap is very high quality and fits my large wrists well. 5)The titanium has a very nice warm tone to it and it makes the watch look much more expensive than it is. Now the not-so-good things. 1) Boddery's description claims c3 lume but the copy I received does not have any lume or barely any lume at all. Neither face nor hands will glow. 2) It is very difficult to set the date. the pull-out position for the crown/stem is vague. It takes a bit of fiddling to find the proper position to set the date. I have several NH35/36 movement powered watches and they do not have this problem. This may go away as the keyless-works wears in. 3)The date window is small and hard to read. The face would look better without it. The date window is a minor complaint and someone else may not have an issue with it. This has more to do with the NH35 movement than the design of the watch. The NH35 is a workhorse of a movement and keeps the cost of the watch down. 4)I also would have liked quick detach strap pins instead of the standard compression-style pins. Conclusion: Is the watch a good value? Yes, it is. Would I buy another Boddery watch? Probably. I'd like to see a version without a date complication.

Une montre magnifique qui cumule une très grande qualité et un prix défiant toute concurrence. Cette montre a une précision incroyable que l'on retrouve sur des marques de luxe.Le bracelet nylon est solide. Elle est envoyée dans un petit conteneur en plastique , ce qui est très original. Une montre militaire que j'ai grand plaisir à porter et qui attire la curiosité de nombreuses personnes . Je recommande vivement l'achat de cette montre.

Un semplice orologio con sola data adatto alla quotidianità e molto bello per l'estate (ho montato cinturino pelle bianca a pochi €). Ha lacune caratteristiche di livello per il prezzo a cui lo si può prendere: cassa in titanio e vetro zaffiro (verificato). Il movimento NH35 è una garanzia di affidabilità.

Fantastic little offering with lots to offer - Titanium case, automatic Seiko NH35 mechanism, 100m water resistance and good looking too! Suits smaller wrists well, and is not heavy at all. Wearing it for long periods of time without any discomfort. Laid down on the table, the mechanism holds good for about a day and a half. No time loss each day, though I see that some reviewers here (India site) and on Amazon.com have reported +/-10 to 12 seconds each day. There may be a uniformity of manufacturing that's lacking, but luckily mine works fine. Straps are easily changeable, I use my other Nato bands with this at times. Setting the watch needs a little know-how; to do it without damaging the watch, look up videos for setting the Seiko NH35 movement if you're new to automatic watches.

I'm really happy with the watch; the size fits me perfectly since I have a small wrist. The packaging is surprisingly impressive, especially given the price of the watch. It comes in a quality plastic box that looks like a mini shipping container. I've actually tossed out all my other watch boxes, but this one I plan to keep for a while. As for the claimed sapphire glass and titanium casing, I can't confirm if those claims are true, but that's what the manufacturer says. The only downside is the nylon NATO strap, which is pretty stiff and uncomfortable. I'm sure it'll soften up over time, though.

Poor quality time piece. It would consistantly run slow.
