BOLDR Venture Automatic Watch for Men, 38mm Titanium Case, Nylon Strap, Water Resistant 200m

I’m a field watch fan and own over a dozen in various brands, my favorite being my Hamilton Mechanical. Even though I really like the Hamilton and consider it one of the best looking watches, it’s not perfect. On a few occasions I have forgot to wind it, so it stops in the middle of the day. I also have an issue once in a while while I find the crown has pulled out to the time setting position which also stops the watch, probably do to me reaching into my pocket and snagging the crown when I pull my hand out. The Boldr Venture is my first field watch that checks all the boxes. Great size, titanium case, screw down crown, sapphire crystal, reliable and accurate automatic movement and no date complication. The titanium case is super light, the screw down crown means no more popped out crowns and water resistance to 200 meters, and no more forgetting to wind the watch with the automatic movement. The dial as simple and easy to read like the Hamilton as well. Finally, I use nato straps on almost all my watches and the supplied Boldr nato strap is very nice and well made and uses titanium hardware that matches the watch.

I have no big complaints, mostly compliments. The time keeping is very good after a month break in period. Very consistent at -3 seconds a day on less I am VERY active (like running), then it seems to run about +10 seconds a day only while I am active. Fit and finish is perfect as far as I can see. I love the recessed 4 o'clock screw down crown. If I super charge the lume before I go to bed, I can still see the very dim lume 6 hours later. The white watch face is VERY white, in a good way. In a dark dark room, but not pitch black, you don't need lume as I do with my other watches. A diamond tester verifies the crystal is sapphire. It comes with a very nice NATO strap. Because I'm personally not a fan of NATO strap, I replaced it with a 2 piece strap. I originally was afraid to use a 2 piece strap because of the sharp corners of the case may dig into my wrist, but underside of the watch is smooth and has no problems.I only have 2 small negatives. The watch is a little smaller in size then what I had in mind (not a fault of the watch at all), and the shipment was fulfilled by the seller based in San Francisco, but shipped from Hong Kong, and was delivered a day late of the estimated delivery, over a week from from when it was ordered.

You can't go wrong with what you get when you buy a Boldr. Solid watches at great prices.

Great little watch, emphasis on little. Even on my 6.75 inch wrists it looks small, but I'm typically wearing 38 and 39mm watches. The movement is the legendary NH35, which needs no introduction, these work horses just work. Out of the box I've run +2 to +10 spd. On days the watch is off the wrist it runs closer to the +10, on the wrist more like +2 for my particular sample, but the watch is somewhat position dependent for accuracy. With white dial its a split second to read the time, one of the most legible I've seen and the only way to make it better would be increase the size. I thought the strap was pretty stiff but overall not bad, I did end up with a silicon rubber strap which I think fits a little nicer than the nato which makes the watch stand off the wrist. Overall impressed how light and comfortable this is, hope this will be my weekender for the foreseeable future.

Meets all my expectations. Great size & simple appearance.Screw in crown, sapphire crystal, water resistant allows me to swim with confidence.Keeps great time…its my daily wear.Con: I changed out the NATO band for a silicone one…wished the original band was better.

Beautiful watch with pointy lugs that may play sour notes with your wrist bone. I felt the pain within one sweep of the second hand. Why Boldr, the rest of the design is near perfect?The other sour note is the condition of the watch. One corner of the box was torn and smashed. This had to have happened before it was put in the padded shipping envelope as the envelope showed no signs of stress. The protective film for the case back was loose in the box. The protective film on the crystal was full of bubbles, obviously it had been removed and reapplied. This was the first watch that miraculously showed up after being lost in transit. If it hadn't been for the pointy bits I would have kept the replacement Amazon so graciously shipped.I

I have a 7 inch wrist. This watch is so much smaller than I expected it to be, and with how light it is, you forget it's there. I have heard that boldr regulates their movements and that appears to be true. I measured it on my time grapher in the 3 most basic positions that it will be in during a normal day for me and it is as good as you can possibly ask of a $300 automatic in my opinion. If I could only have one automatic to wear day to day in this budget, it would probably be this one. My only gripe is that it's capable of telling the date, but they didn't include a date window in the dial presumably for aesthetic reasons. I wish they gave it a date window then it would be perfect.

Owned for about 3 months or less. The watch is gaining time, fast. I have to reset the time almost everyday. I stopped reseting the time because I figured it's pointless,, its broken, and now it's 5+ minuets fast and gaining. The company policy is for the CUSTOMER to then have to pay $30+ SHIPPING and wait 1-2 months for their watch to be serviced. Which really means held for ransom because we, the customer, has to assume the company is honest and fair in diagnosing the watches malfunction, which could result in MORE CHARGES. Insane. Wouldn't buy again. This doesn't protect the honest customer.
