I’ve been super impressed with the specs that Boderry offers. I ordered this early on when first released and they offered me the black rubber strap. I removed the bracelet right away and changed to the black rubber strap and the black dial with black rubber strap looks amazing. Very Rolex explorer vibes while definitely having its one personality. One of my favorite watches.
For some reason, Boderry changed their bracelets about 8 months ago from a deployment clasp with 3 positions of micro adjust to the current style. I have a Sea Turtle diver that I swapped out the rubber strap for the bracelet and I love it.
Interesting. I wonder why they decided to ditch the micro-adjustment. I actually prefer how this new bracelet both looks and feels. The clasp looks really sleek. And I could actually forgive the lack of micro-adj if it features a taper and the end links didn't stick out so much! Hopefully they address these issues with the next bracelet :) Thanks for watching and sharing your experiences. Have a great week!
These Boderry's are superb! The bracelet is a bit of a bummer for small wristers but for larger lads this is not a problem! I agree with you about the bezel. The yacht master bezel is nicer. I kinda liked the Landmaster but I would have scratched the crap out of it. I do love the red dial. It looks awesome! The bronze version is indeed very pretty! All in all very nice! Hope you have a great week Kieron!
“Stands out like my bright white chest on a Spanish beach” 😂😂😂 Seriously though, good looking as it is, I think I’ll avoid for the moment. Thanks Keir.
Hey Kieron, What's the name of the rubber strap that we see on minute 3:38? I am looking for a Strap with exactly that color and i would realy appreciate your help in that 😊
Looks like something you would see on the Seikomod sub Reddit. A titanium SKX case with an explorer dial & a yachtmaster bezel insert. It’s fine, but really nothing exciting
I know theyre dining out on this case but i think it would have worn nicer if they went for thinner, more refined lugs, reminiscent of the 5 digit era subs rather than these maxi case ones.
I bought the original issue of the Voyager which came on a fabric strap, with a non-hacking 8215 with the skittery seconds. It cost me around £50 delivered. At that price I can forgive its faults as it does keep good time and is well made overall. I haven't felt inclined to buy something else from them. I just get the feeling they are not on top of both design and QC yet. Nice looking dial though.
Indeed. They have some great options for sub $200. Especially if you want some titanium. I just wish they'd sort out a decent bracelet! 😆 Thanks for watching 🙏
Is that the TGV one? It's unbelievably good looking and I'd love to get hands on with it. I'm just trying to not buy so many watches right now! I've bought like 6 in the last few weeks! xD I'll hopefully get a chance to review it at some point this year. Thanks for watching!
Haha! Yeah, that can sometimes happen when you take different elements from different watches. Explorer style dial, Tudor style indexes, Sub style lugs, Seiko style crown, Omega style hands, Yacht-master style bezel... It can get a bit messy. I personally like the style on this one. But I can see how it might be a bit to much of a mishmash for some. Thanks for watching. Have a great week!
It's not a bad looking watch but I much prefer the Voyager. Straps are a bit poor but they're easy to swap out. Cheers for another great video Kieron 👍
Voyager was very nice. The dials on those were very attractive. I think that's what Boderry do best (the dials). Thanks for watching mate. I hope you have a good new year and Christmas with the fam! 👍
20mm lug width look silly as usual. The Goldilocks reference makes no sense. Surely it should be 'Mamma Bear'? and even then it makes no sense re the lug width as it should be 'Daddy Bear' on this watch!
Haha! I put 7lbs on over December so I'm just on a diet at the minute. It's also extremely cold here in England right now which thins me out a bit. My puffy cheeks will be back on a few weeks once I have a pizza and a few beers 🤣
I'm going to have to stop ya right there- "Dirt Cheap" is $100 or under boss, it just is. I've been fu**in with Chinese watches since well before the 'world sniffles' and what you are doing here is "obeying in advance" and it's an actual thing. Not saying the Boderry's aren't good products, I'm not- what I'm saying is "Under $200" isn't dirt cheap, listen, they started this entire market based on (actual) "cheap" and they are trying to inflationize us into paying more for basically the same product.
Takes about half a year just to get it delivered from China 🤣 In all seriousness, it's a new watch to me. And still an extremely new model that most of my viewers haven't seen yet. In a video sense, it has the potential to be the best value watch that I review in 2025. Hence the title 😁 Thanks for watching 🙏
@TopTierTicker i bought it last summer in the early bird sale directly from Boderry. The early bird offer included a red rubber strap, a travel Gase and a hefty discount. Together with a summer sale I paid less than 100 €. Therefore it is a great watch.
Great video!! Definitely not my cup of tea, but I know a lot of people will be looking into this brand! Keep up the good work, man! Loving the content lately 🫰🏽 HNY !!

Hey there. I just purchased the Orient Mako with a Burgandy face for $300.00 from Amazon. This Bodery is $240.00.
Finally, a big one I have a big wrist i usually wear 44mm for 21mm wrist it's look nice

It's honestly blinding. You need to put your shades on just to see me... Thanks for watching! 😆
Hey Kieron,
What's the name of the rubber strap that we see on minute 3:38?
I am looking for a Strap with exactly that color and i would realy appreciate your help in that 😊
I have mixed feelings about this brand - great review as always! :)
Me too. I think they have huge potential but they just need to fix some core issues. Thanks for watching! Happy new year 🙏
Love your reviews. You are my main watch reviewer. Hello from Canada!
Love that mate! Thank you for your kind words. Canada! I need to visit soon. Happy new year!
I have a Boderry Voyager, and I like it as my bang-around watch.
I've seen the bronze gmt version which looks great.
I do appreciate the look that the bezel affords.
LOVE ALL OF THEM GREAT VIDEO
Looks like something you would see on the Seikomod sub Reddit. A titanium SKX case with an explorer dial & a yachtmaster bezel insert. It’s fine, but really nothing exciting
They make some decent pieces. Will I buy? Prob not, but I appreciate their effort and price.
My brother in watch addiction it's been 2025 for a week calm down. Cool dial though and I'm a sucker for the SKX case.
I know theyre dining out on this case but i think it would have worn nicer if they went for thinner, more refined lugs, reminiscent of the 5 digit era subs rather than these maxi case ones.

Enjoy my boderry voyager. Good budget brand

Kindly do the review of HANHART PIONEERR HD12❤😊😮
Is that the TGV one? It's unbelievably good looking and I'd love to get hands on with it. I'm just trying to not buy so many watches right now! I've bought like 6 in the last few weeks! xD I'll hopefully get a chance to review it at some point this year. Thanks for watching!
Agree, bought two of them.
Very good review.
Looks like a Frankenstein watch. Every component left over in the workshop slapped together. Very weird.
Haha! Yeah, that can sometimes happen when you take different elements from different watches.

i agree bracelets look garbage but the dial is not bad.
What was your new year’s resolution?
It's not a bad looking watch but I much prefer the Voyager. Straps are a bit poor but they're easy to swap out.

ur looking thin K dawg, gaunt even, you ok mate?
Haha! I put 7lbs on over December so I'm just on a diet at the minute. It's also extremely cold here in England right now which thins me out a bit. My puffy cheeks will be back on a few weeks once I have a pizza and a few beers 🤣
I rather wear my Foxa professional
I just bought a 1000M diver, so I'm not in the market, but I stayed because you're a good UA-camr (even if you keep the watch after the review...).

Why the title is just a joke? I bought this watch several month ago and today is the 6. January. The Best affordable watch of 2025? Really?

@@a.haifisch5114 Wow. You got an incredible deal on that!
Neh …..
