This month's watch was a lot more sporty than previous months - but I like that it's switched up! Black Partners could have received a watch from Chronologia, Heritor, Reign, or Nixon. Original Parters could have received a watch from Simplify. Platinum Partners could have received watches from Glycine, Virata, Lum-Tec, or Melbourne Watch Company.
It comes with a card detailing the brands. Also - I'm not sure what 'Centum' is, it seems like a subscription tier, but it's not available on the website?
Chronologia Watch - Value $695
I was able to find the same watch in a black color on their site, so that's where I'm pulling the value from.
The first thing that made this stand out - it comes with a durable to-go case!
Pop it open and it has room for the watch to be stowed away along with the mini flashlight you'll find later in the review.
It also comes with the warranty card and instruction manual to get you started.
The watch itself has a sporty and high-tech look to it. The watch face comes with 3 subdials - each dial with Swiss quartz movement. The watch face illuminates in the dark as well, allonging you to get the time whenever needed.
It's got black and red fabric straps to accompany the black and red watch face.
The body is a bit thicker than watches I tend to wear - but, another cool part, the housing is made of matte black carbon fiber!
It finishes off with a stainless steel backing.
Mini Flashlight
This is the little flashlight I mentioned above. It comes in the case for you to travel with - not a bad thing to have just in case.
It's got dual LED lights and a keyring to take it on-the-go.
Verdict: I am absolutely LOVING this subscription! I will say, I was very much into trying new watches before I ever started this subscription, so it was kind of in my wheelhouse, to begin with. But, I've been impressed with each month's delivery so far - and while this wasn't my favorite watch of the past 3 months, the value is incredible and it's still a really nice looking watch!
