Burei Steel/tan quartz watch Model: SM-13017-01AE2


Rating: 5/5

Review:
A very nice watch 

This watch was kindly sent to me for review and I think it is very good. It is well made and has a really nice simple direct style. I have tested a number of Burei watches now and, like all the others, this is a good quality product.

The watch comes in a very nice, hinged presentation box with a manual and a little presentation bag, which would make it a good present. The look of watch is very pleasing: it has a large face, 4cm in diameter (about 1.5 inches) and a solid feel without being too heavy. The case, bezel and back are stainless steel, which looks really good. The face is very clear with large, stylish Arabic numerals and it has a nice, slightly retro look to it, with tapered hands and a red sweep second hand. There is a date display at 3-o'-clock. The crown is very nice and the band is good tan leather with a solid stainless steel buckle whose style goes well with the watch itself.

Functionally, it's very good. Adjustment of date and time is extremely simple using the crown. It keeps very good time, is shockproof and scratch resistant, and it is rated as water resistant up to 50 metres depth, and with a mineral crystal window it's tough enough to stand up well to the sort of knocks and wettings it might get in normal use. It feels like a solidly made, durable watch; if I have any problems with durability I will update this review, but I'm not expecting any. I think it's a lovely watch and I can recommend it very warmly.
