Owners say
Living I pretty much only wear steel bracelets in the summer so they don't get ruined by sweat or boat spray. This 40mm jubilee breathes well on my wrist and the plum dial looks sharp. Has a faint quartz tick in a dead-quiet room.
Measured the case at 40mm across with even brushing on the lugs and a secure fold-over clasp on the jubilee bracelet. The Japanese quartz movement keeps accurate time and the plum dial has high contrast against the silver hands.
Took this up to Geist Reservoir for the weekend. The 40mm stainless case and jubilee bracelet feel sturdy on my 7-inch wrist, and the plum sunburst dial looks deep purple in direct sun. The outer presentation box was fairly basic, though the watch is where the money went.
Wore this out on Long Island Sound last Saturday and then straight to dinner. The stainless jubilee bracelet shrugs off salt air and the main hands are easy to read in bright sun, though the tiny minute markings are a little small without my reading glasses.
Glad it handled a day on the Sound and dinner, Nicholas! Appreciate the feedback.
On my wrist the jubilee bracelet fits without pulling any links, though I also threw it on a grey sailcloth strap for weekend errands. In a dead-quiet bedroom you can hear a faint tick from the quartz movement, which is totally normal.
Thanks for the review, Brock! A grey sailcloth strap sounds like a sharp pairing with the plum dial.
Got this for my younger brother's college graduation in New York. He wanted something with a unique dial color rather than plain black or blue, and the plum sunburst was a hit. He mentioned the watch has some real heft to it that took a couple days to get used to.
Congrats to your brother on graduating, A.! Glad the plum sunburst dial stood out for him.
Buying a watch with a plum dial and crystal bezel online felt like a gamble at $199. Once I got it in hand, the solid stainless steel links, clean brushing, and rich sunburst finish won me over. Sits great on my wrist.
The stock jubilee bracelet articulates smoothly around my wrist, and the 40mm case also looks sharp when swapped onto a charcoal suede strap for casual Fridays at the cardiology clinic.
Sized the stainless jubilee bracelet for my wrist in ten minutes, and also tested it on a black calfskin strap which really brings out the purple tones in the plum dial. The small minute track hash marks are a little tiny without my reading glasses.
The 40mm stainless steel case and jubilee bracelet fit my 6.75-inch wrist cleanly after pulling three links. Bezel stones sit flush, the clasp locks without rattle, and the silver hands are easy to read against the plum sunburst dial.
