First time writing a review;
I purchased this watch some time last year during the kickstarter campaign and I’ve been eagerly watching the updates as they come in. I was meant to receive this watch on the 16th, so I was beyond excited to see it sitting waiting for me today, 2/13/23.
First impressions
Packaging
The watch came really well packaged in a small bubble-wrapped box. The design of the watch case itself draws the eye. I especially like the Yellow. Once opened, the watch is presented to you in a plush, soft and well designed case that shows the watch off very well.
Watch
The watch comes wrapped in a protective plastic film, it's got a fantastic weight to it (I'm a fan of heavier watches). Some may find that a negative. In the box, as well as the black metal watch strap, was a brown leather watch strap which was an added bonus. The red of the watch face and the overall design is everything it was described to be and more. The face, although it houses many data points (24 hour clock, day, date and month) is not overcrowded and is easy to read.
The ONLY thing I will say is that there are no instructions in the box on how to adjust the metal watch strap (see my notes below “Instructions and support” for more on that”)
Instructions and support.
The instructions that come with the watch walk you very well through setting the watch up, the day, date, month and time. Again, a slight criticism; I’m not overly familiar with watches and their inner workings and tend to have a heavy hand. I was unsure about how to reseat the crown correctly.
I reached out via Facebook messenger and was quickly taken care of. Overall, I would rate my first experience with Sovrygn as a solid 9.5 out of 10. The watch gets 10 out of 10 for everything we were promised and more. Buy with confidence.
I will add to this review if possible in a month and let you all know how it has been as my daily driver!
