Burei Large-face watch


Rating: 5/5

Review:
A very nice watch



This watch was kindly sent to me for review and I think it is excellent. It is a high-quality product and it looks very good.

The watch comes in a very nice, hinged presentation box with a manual and a little presentation bag, which would make it a very nice present.  (There's also, rather bizarrely, a little black and gold hair-clip included as a "gift.")  First impressions of the watch are excellent.  It is slim and has a large face, 4cm in diameter (about 1.5 inches) and the dial is very nice: it is elegant and very clear, with an attractive engraved pattern.  The hands are silver and in a traditional shape; there is also a second hand and a date display.  The date display is very small and I struggle to read it sometimes, but in a good light it's fine.  The band is very good quality, textured leather with a discreet logo on the buckle to match the watch. The whole thing looks really good, I think, and I would be happy to wear this to a smart event as well as liking it very much for everyday wear.

Functionally, it's very good.  It keeps very good time, is shockproof and scratch resistant, and it is rated as water resistant up to 30 metres depth. I can't vouch for this and it's plainly not intended for submersion, but it's good to know that it will stand up well to the sort of knocks and wettings it might get in normal use.

In summary, this is an elegant, classy watch which seems very well made and durable.  I like it very much and can recommend it warmly.
