Thanks so much to Boderry for sending me this watch for review. It really helps this little channel keep going! Appreciate it. It's also nice you let me have complete creative control over my content. That's all I ever want!
I really love your humour. A different take to watch reviews. I just ordered the titanium version of this field watch (and some MN straps to go with it). Looking forward to lay my hands on it.
Great review, many thanks. I probably won’t buy the watch but I am grateful for your take on it.
I love it! Like you say, the perfect autumn watch 🍁
I've got the full titanium version coming, excited to get it on wrist!
Just bought one the Green dialled version.... Wearing it right now... Fantastic watch for the money, great review, as always.
Quirky review as ever 👍🏻. I have the black dial and completely agree about the strap . I had delivered yesterday a nato with slightly shinier keepers , almost brass coloured , that works for me . I'm going to cut up the leather strap now though
Picked up the titanium version with the NH35 just before Christmas and I may end up grabbing the bronze too
That green FKM looked amazing paired up with that bronze case I'm not a huge fan of bronze watches but I am a huge fan of your content my friend Be well and Thanks for sharing as always 👍
I bought the Gen 1 Miyota Ti version, and it's been improved nicely. The bronze looks even better.
I did exactly the same with the strap as you did, as well..... Now perfect !!
Enjoyable review 👍 . I think you chose the nicest dial/case combination. Those thick leather NATOs (not that we're allowed to call them that now 🙄) are a joke, so thick! I wish Bertucci would make a metal watch for less than £100, I would prefer that with the integral lug design.
It’s the blue rubber strap for me, works with the hand colour, I think a red and white nato would work
I not quite into Bronze watches but Boderry’s Voyager is probably one of the best value Field Watches out there. But yeah, that lug hole placement…
Entertaining and informative as usual.
Best commentary in the watch game
10:14 and the Green will get better as the patina sets in
Nice watch. Two things I would change: Arabics painted with orange lume stuff (orange as a daylight color), and swap out the movement for a Seiko VH31 quartz (and eliminate the date).
Thanks. Cool brand.
Great review! The watch itself looks a bit too big and bulky for me (I guess I'm spoiled by vintage watches that overall are smaller and more elegant), but I must say I really like the date at 4 o'clock! I don't think I've seen a watch with that design before.
I love the idea of the form factor (obviously not original), but always wonder if I'd like it on wrist.
I bought the salmon version. Love it mate.
The green one looks dope
Nice reveiw, I've been looking at these for a while, like you love the white but mmmm legibility issues also drawn to the green dial, but can't get over the glaring white date window (pet hate of mine) enjoyed your video, you've got a new subscriber and I look forward to seeing much more content off you cheers.
90% of my NATOs have been “customized” the exact same way.
Yup, very Bertucci case shape but the more I look at it, the more it gives me some Vostok classic Komandirskie vibes with the case color, dial and kinda similar hands..
Well, I picked one of these up quite some time ago, when the first reviews and low price came out. It just arrived on December 9th after many inquiries on my part (and apologetic responses from Boderry).
It's a heck of a watch for the money but the very first thing to do is exactly what The Man, The Myth, The Master of disaster himself did: cut the strap into a single pass. My wrist is over 8 in in diameter and the darn thing was still too big with that thick double pass. Trimmed, it looks and feels quite wearable. I'm going to have it on for the weekend.
I recently bought the bronze "Seaturtle" and within a week the crown pulled completely out of the watch. They sent me another one and the crown doesn't work properly on it either. They hint that I con't know what I'm doing - yeah, I do. I now have 2 pieces of junk in my drawer and I'm out CAD $240.
Love the watch, hate the strap. Gonna buy a black dial version and put it on a canvas strap.
"Never seen blue work with bronze so well" sir, the US Navy would like to have a word with you 😂
I thought the main reason for having bronze was safety compared to steel. For example working on oil rigs.
In this day & age, more than ever, Leather deserves to be called Leather vs. "Material" :)
My bronze and green arrived today. Took around 2 weeks which i didnt think was too bad. Its an extremely handsome looking thing but i agree about the strap being too thick. Any tips as i don't want to just cut it and get it wrong.
I used a sharp pocket knife on a chopping board. You can just use scissors too.
@@watchmewithwatches that's brill. Thanks very much for getting back to me
Lug design is gormless, 22mm won't allow most straps. Worse than that is taking a 40mm watch to 48mm across the lugs it won't fit a smaller wrist. Dial and hands are brilliant, half the time reading a watch numbers are not really necessary and just add to the design. Boderry need to take a better look at lugs or a belt sander there choice
Buyer beware: I ordered 1 of these from Boderry on the 29th of September. I received shipping information on the 13th of October. The shipping information ever since has just said shipping label created, and I have not received the watch as of the 2nd of December. I have contacted Boderry a few times, and they keep saying things like the shipping information will update next week. The shipping will update within 2 days. When shipped the watch over the weekend, and shipping will update. I am pretty sure I will never receive this watch, and their customer service is not helpful at all.
It would be helpful to say which website you ordered from. If it were Ali Express, it must have been the Boderry Official Store?
I have order two from Amazon and one from their Ali X store with no problems. All shipped from the same place.
@@pipesmoker67 I ordered directly from the Boderry website.
I ordered in early October and got the watch mid December. There was an issue causing a delay on this watch in particular, but they do turn up. Did you get your's in the end?
I ordered mine direct from the Boderry website on 12th July. It arrived this morning, 18th July in the UK. Can't complain about six day delivery.
Hi Dan, a bit off subject, but as mentioned in the video, are you no longer selling straps at all ? Noticed my link to your eBay shop now says shop no longer available? Neil.
Hi Neil. I have wound the business down for many reasons. All is well though, so I just need to focus on what matters. Regards, Dan.
No problem Dan, you were always my go to for straps, but as you say life needs to be prioritised, still my go to for great balanced videos 😃
Woof, that is a big gap. Did you use the closest lug holes for it?
I did!
@watchmewithwatches , I was hoping the answer would be no. That gap is kinda a deal breaker for regular straps and I don't like the straps formerly known as NATO
Aah the old Bo Derek watch.
😂
How long before the gap between those lug hole is bridged and you get one huge hole?
That should never happen!
My November 8th order of the Boderry titanium field wat was finally shipped today from the website putting it in the Xmas rush. Never again.
I've heard a few stories like this. I hope this doesn't happen too often!
When I emailed them it magically got shipped the next day. But it's their loss I was going to buy this one here on special if I liked the titanium. My addies retro diver came in 9 days. I've always liked your videos BTW.
but how to remove the Patina ? or to dodge it?
Vinegar does the trick
@@watchmewithwatches
Thank u sir, and does it back like a new ?
@@nuclear_pizza yeah! Super bright and shiny again
@@watchmewithwatches
Thank u sir,
Just one more thing, can u in the next reviews, do a part where u test the watch movement to see if the date gonna change exactly at midnight or not.
Because i saw that this watch change the date 15 minutes before midnight .
Or does it differ from unit to unit of this watch?
I am sorry for asking too much questions and from taking from ur time.
Thank u so much.
I bought the titanium one a few weeks ago, I can confirm the good quality considering the cost of that watch !

I had ordered the green one about 2 months ago. Nothing happened for 2 weeks. Then It showed that they had "contacted the shipping company to pick up a shipment" another 2 weeks of no status updates with the bogus shipment. After 3 emails without a response, I called my credit card company and cancelled the order. Not once did someone from Boderry reach out to explain anything to me. Love the look of the watch but they have ZERO customer service.
Tuck it inward.
I don understand these ridiculous straps, really. Take a good quality blue or brown leather strap. Blue would make it a killer. Maybe black. The original is just plain awkward.
Totally agree! It's tricky to get it to work
Nope!
This brand doesnt ship the orders. If you want to live troubles with shipping and can not refund your money. You can be free. Please read comments of customers (i mean people made payment and can not receive the orders) for boderry watch's shipping and refund problems
Oh no! I had no idea. What on earth could be happening I wonder 🧐
Boderry does not adhere to their own warranty conditions. In the event of a defect you are not entitled to anything. Don't buy this watch! The watch and the brand are absolute garbage.
Such a shame to hear this! One of the pitfalls of affordable watches sometimes.
What a horrible mess of a watch the only nice thing is the strap
That strap is dumb
I agree!
