Watches are very personal things, and for me, this is just what I was looking for. Clean design, fairly minimal, classy and slim, the solar powered dark grey/brown face going well with the excellent titanium bracelet. This is mostly a brushed finish, which gives it a warm colour compared to steel. Titanium is softer than steel, so it’s slightly prone to marking, but the brushed part is easily restored with careful brushing with a pan cleaner along the length of the bracelet. Being titanium overall, it is surprisingly light while looking solid. The sides of the case and bracelet are polished, and less prone to marking. The bracelet is very well made, and the clasp works well. I bought a £14 watch repair kit which had proper bracelet pin removing tools, and was able to adjust the bracelet perfectly to my smaller wrist, though you may want to pay a jeweller to do it. The 39mm case also means it sits well, whereas many huge, blingy cases would look ridiculous on me, apart from not being to my taste anyway!The sapphire crystal glass is a rare benefit at this price point, mineral glass being so easy to mark. The second hand doesn’t quite align with the marks on mine, but it keeps good time with the Seiko movement. The solar power is nice, so it should last for years until the rechargeable cell fails, and will hopefully be replaceable if necessary. This means the screw-on back won’t need removing, which should help keep the water resistance. The hour markers are very clear, and glow in the dark for a short while after exposure to light, but largely faded after about 20 minutes. I was tempted by the dark blue faced version which looks striking in photos, but glad I went for the grey one, as it is a similar colouring to the warm titanium case and bracelet. I tried to see both in the flesh, but Bering isn’t widely stocked in UK jewellers. There is also a stealth black version, but I suspect this would show marks, and be impossible to re-brush. Altogether very happy with it after four months. UPDATE still very happy with it after 2.5 years, though I’ve now got a free Pixel Watch to distract and annoy me. I suspect it’s charms will fade rapidly though!

This watch ‘ticked’ a lot of boxes for me, so I’ve made this review longer than normal as there isn’t much out there about these watches. It is thin at 9.5mm when measured (8mm on Bering website though?), light, has a clean uncluttered style, a titanium case, a sturdy looking titanium bracelet, 100m water resistance (10ATM), is solar powered (Seiko solar movement afaik), has synthetic sapphire glass and some lume that isn’t that strong, but surprisingly does last through the night, it was just readable in the dark after 7 hours. The lume photo shows watch just after it was removed from a window sill. The second hand lines up nicely on the markers as well. The watch weighs 81g (with the out of the box unadjusted bracelet). A 39mm case means it isn’t totally massive on the wrist, or small either and it comes in a trendy glass jar which is different and fun too. This was the black face version, which has a slight dark brown tint on close inspection. I was tempted by the blue face as it looks amazing, but it sadly wasn’t on offer at the time. Bering aren’t as established as some big watch names but that isn’t reason in itself to dismiss them, and time will tell how the watch performs everyday. So far it is keeping good time. The only downsides I have found so far are that the bracelet pins are tough to remove/replace and this makes DIY bracelet adjustment difficult unless you have the right tools and titanium will scratch if you aren’t kind to it.

The watch comes in a glass jar with BERING written on the frontFirst one to be delivered the jar was shattered into hundreds of pieces and I wasnt accepting the watch sitting in the middle of it.Amazon Help put through a replacement order on the day I advised them of the problem and the watch came 4 days later.Great looking watch, big enough for my wrist and reasonably light. I chose this after looking at dozens of watches which were all either too big, too heavy, or were only water resistant if splashed. This is claimed to be water resistant to 10 mts, although I might not test it any that depth.

Was looking for a watch that had five specific features. Namely titanium, solar, waterproof to 100 metres, sapphire crystal glass and case width under 40mm.Spent ages looking at Seiko and Citizen but nothing came up at what I felt was a reasonable price. Eventually found this Bering watch on a comparison site and it does everything I want. Be surprised if you can find another watch with these features at this competitive price. The dark blue colour is particularly attractive.The one tiny negative is something that another reviewer has previously mentioned. The orange second hand, which I like a lot, does not align precisely with the minute markers as it moves around the face. Slightly irritating to some perhaps.

Precioso
El tono de azul es elegante y fácil de combinar. El reloj es muy ligero y de fácil lectura. Se ve más caro de lo que es. Me encantó

Elegante, confortevole, minimale
Orologio bello, dal design minimalista, casual ed elegante al tempo stesso, anche di colore blu scuro si intona praticamente con ogni camicia o felpa o maglione in ogni occasione.E’ in titanio il che significa che risulta leggerissimo, quasi non si sente e ci si dimentica di averlo al polso.Le lancette sono ben leggibili, anche se lo uso più per estetica che per la funzionalità di orologio.E’ anche stato facile regolarlo con il kit proposto da Amazon.Il fatto che è in titanio, a ricarica solare e vetro zaffiro lo rendo un orologio interessante e si ha qualcosa di cui parlare con gli appassionati di orologi :)Sono davvero soddisfatto.
