(almost) Perfect TITANIUM Watch Under $100! - Boderry Titanium Voyager - Full Review

[@vivocanada]

I recently got mine off Amazon for $178 Cdn. You CANNOT get a titanium automatic watch with a Seiko NH35 movement anywhere else at this price point. And guess what. It's great! Look sophisticated, doesn't scratch (big issue for me) and runs like a champ. Best everyday watch ever.

[@roo2dee2]

Looks like Boderry has decided to switch to NH35 for the Voyager. They have also added a salmon dial too.

[@davidespada01]

did you got this watch ? what do you think ? Voyager vs Timex Expedition

[@speedyspooley]

Yeah, I got mine early with the Miyota movement. It has that annoying stuttering seconds hand. However, if you can get past that, it does keep good time. But there's no hacking. I would have rather had the NH35.

[@jrbj2000]

I’d take the Voyager 1000% over the Timex Expedition. If you get one get the version in this video. It has the best look and lume.

[@billryan8542]

My purchase in September of 2024 came with a Seiko NH35 hackable movement. It loses 5 sec/day which is well within specs. I added a pair of woven ballistic quick-release watch straps which allows the watch to lay properly on the wrist. Highly recommended!

[@RicardoValdes-r6w]

Excellent presentation and reviews with a thorough detailed look at the good and the not so good of watch brands. You are doing a great job. !!

[@mortimerwatt1766]

Great video - I purchased one of these and it has the NH35 movement - I really tried to fault it but cant - in my opinion it is the best value for money out there by a Chinese company that doesn't try to hide the fact its made in China and proud of it. The only thing that baffles me is that most of the KZbin video's I look at on this watch call it a homage to a Bertucci field watch - yes there are similarities but, in my opinion, no where near enough to call the Voyager a homage. You could say all field watches look the same in some respect. It's extremely well made from quality materials and I'm over the moon with mine.

[@JaredBusch]

How did you find the lume? People have been complaining the NH-35 movement version has terrible lume.

[@dubester1982]

​@@JaredBuschI have both the white and black dials. The lume is much better on the black dial version, but it's not a dive watch. It's there, but I wouldn't buy this one for the lume. The white dial has very little lume, but they are both great looking watches

[@vincentferreira1135]

What?! How is it not a homage to the Bertucci? It looks exactly like it.

[@RicardoValdes-r6w]

Very well professional review that reflects consistent complete review of this Boderry titanium watch. For the price point and overall style of the field watch it is clear that this watch is well made and as to the movement hopefully Boderry will be paying attention and offer a couple not just one other movement option. Maybe a PT5000.

[@ShinyThings]

Thank you for your comments! Boderry did update the movement to Seiko nh35, which is more suitable for this watch imho 🙂

[@mikev3245]

The case and strap construction looks like it is coming from the same place that supplies Bertucci.

[@MrSeedi76]

Bertucci has no model with twisted lugs and the Bertuccis also have fixed lugs. I very much doubt they come from the same supplier.

[@vincentferreira1135]

@@MrSeedi76it’s almost like other companies can make small changes to the exact same case to fit what they want. 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@deanP.]

Thank you for the review!

[@ShinyThings]

Glad it was helpful! 🙂👍

[@Rhodri80]

As stated below they seem to be using an NH35 movement now. A 42mm case would be better for those of us who need reading glasses.

[@1MarkBevans]

Really a decent watch, I received mine 7 days ago NH-35 movement. It’s an excellent “daytime” watch. There is hardly any Lume, like bout zero. I’ve owned Rolex’s and a host of automatics during my years, more than 15 different watches but now retired I take pleasure in wearing inexpensive autos. For the last 1.5 years I’ve worn a Seiko Sports-5 which has decent lume, BUT RUNS OVER A MINUTE FAST per DAY 🤨 which is daily upsetting, it never settled down as some of my watches have. The LUME shots you showed ARE NOT ANYTHING like what’s shipping today. Though it’s more accurate than my Seiko 5 series.

[@ShinyThings]

Thank you for sharing! 🙂👍

"Fairly attainable " depends on the country.

[@itsallrobbish]

Good review, very comprehensive. This is a bargain!

[@ShinyThings]

Glad it was helpful! 🙂👍

[@wbwills2]

Ordered the same watch.1st watch in years. Dk much about watches. If I like it & its comfortable to wear 24/7/365 & looks good when it is delivered early to mid September, I’ll keep it. If not I’ll probably return and go back online to look a Citizen eco drive watches. Wish I had some idea of how long this watch “should”last without any major problems or anything. If anyone has any idea or suggestions for other watches (highest price range $200ish USD)I’d appreciate it. Thanks. The video was good .showing it in two different sized wrists was helpful. Good evening..

[@leothelegend8201]

San Martin makes the best watches for the price 👍

[@K.J.H_]

The thing that annoys me about all the titanium watches popping up on ali all of a sudden, is that they are basically all just pelagos 39 rip offs with a few other non-original designs thrown in, like this one. And it's not the homage hate thing that is annoying, it's that if they all actually wanted to, they can come up with relatively high quality mid sized titanium divers/watches, well spec'ed with good finishing, quick adjust etc.. they just dont. Not until a big brand does it and then they dont iterate on it in any way. I like that San Martin is trying now, but I'd like to see more of these brands follow in a similar way, using their watch making chops to create watch brands with an actual identity and to co-exist with the homages which obviously also have a big market too. Basically, I just want more cool titanium sport watch options out there! 😆

[@stevev7402]

Buyer beware. The first one I got from them had a bad Miyota in it. Second hand would stop or jump. Much more than the typical Miyota 82xx movement jitter. They admitted issues and I shipped it back. After about a month they shipped a replacement. It arrived and this one the movement just stops completely and won’t run. I’m done with Boderry. I’ll probably just replace the movement myself

[@mohsin_sait]

You should return and get the new version with NH35 movement.

[@stevev7402]

@@ffs3pro incorrect. My movement was stopping just sitting in a desk, stuttering and jumping. Boderry admitted to having a bad batch of Myotas and first did replacements and I got a second one that wouldn’t even run. When I told them they wanted me to pay to have it shipped all the way back to them overseas. That’s why they switched to the NH. Too many issues

[@stevev7402]

@@mohsin_sait they wanted me to pay for shipping all the way to them overseas. Watch isn’t worth it.

[@giancarloliucci4104]

Mi piace il tuo stile, meriti sempre il 👍🏼ma, essere in titanio con un cinturino tipo Nato non è abbastanza per me. Tra mezz'ora già lo avrò dimenticato

[@lennemoy1971]

I get the cost, but Bertucci is a better watch. Not much more in cost, and Best feature, fixed lugs.

[@jrbj2000]

To each their own. I have both, I haven’t wore the Bert in a long time.

[@rubcan]

Great video. Does anyone know what year this watch came out?

[@davidenavino9506]

Great video and (in my opinion), great watch. I have the same in white dial and zulu strap. So cool, and Now they have nh35 inside, so in my case it works well 👍🍺

[@ShinyThings]

Couldn't agree more! 🙂👍

On there website they say thats a grade 2 titanium

I need your assistance this morning at 3:10 am IST timing I adjusted the date and time , and at 16:10 pm the date was updated as 20. Could you please advise when to adjust the date and time. I have tried the date with counter clockwise is not working

[@razvanon]

if they could only make those lugs shorter and the lug width of 20mm.....

[@TechFreakMB]

Is it safe to get watch from them

[@aniketsawant4266]

NH35 movement... Right?

[@ShinyThings]

Yes, Boderry switches to NH35 in a couple of weeks after my review.

[@PocketUau]

This NEEDS a Seiko VH31 so it can be 1.5mm thinner, lighter and more shock resistant.

[@Jacobruxo]

Yes, this would be near perfect with a VH31!

[@jinxUKBK]

Really nice watch but lug to lug is out of my tuny wrist range.

[@giancarloliucci4104]

Beh...ho rivisto oggi il video, sappi che ho comprato un Tandorio 200m 39 mm con nh35 a 41€ al netto di tutti gli sconti scartando il medesimo in titanio a 56€ circa

[@chrisvassos9929]

Recently bought one of these with the N35 Seiko movement. Great watch, my only complaint is that its losing time. ~10 seconds / day. Im not sure if this can be rectified (speed adjusted), or that having a desk job lately and lack of movement is causing it to lose time.

[@Othusdragonreviews]

10 seconds a day is within spec. NH35 does -20/+40 a day.

[@davidespada01]

Voyager vs Timex Expedition ?

[@wbwills2]

Wish I would have known about the upcoming sale. Is that a thing in the watch industry. Other brands too??live in US ,$96 USD ,After taxes..Amazon.

[@wbwills2]

Last comment on this one. Was typing not watching 1st time. Watched a 2nd time & it is really a good job on showing this watch. I ultimately want to have a watch that’s durable and won’t cost too terribly much to get running again (when /if it breaks.& still be waterproof )something That could be passed down to future generations.have a few watches that were my uncles that I inherited. 1 is a pricey looking dive watch that is most likely still working or at least can be repaired. Red & blue paint looked bad all worn off in spots ect. I need to go back through his things & give them a closer look .he actually did scuba dive. Have underwater pictures & his dive gear. My taste has changed. I may like the dive watch,patina & all ,more than before. But it may be too big to wear all the time. Some others where ladies watches,I thought. Didn’t know at the time that men used to wear much smaller watches .1 is an omega . I think those are collected.?.it’s 18k ,gator band and in good shape . I asked a eBay dealer about value once.eBay got on to me about that for some reason & didn’t allow me to communicate with him about its possible value. So…DK what I will do with it. I don’t care for dress watches. Thx again. Liked & subscribed. Take care

[@AllenReinecke]

Buyer Beware! I bought one of these back in Jan 2024. I have several watches and so wore this maybe a couple times. When I went to wear it a few weeks later, the movement kept stopping. Boderry took a while to respond to my email, and had to be prompted by the very responsive AliExpress message responder. They told me to return it for warranty repair. Postage to China cost me almost $20, which they said they'd refund AFTER it was fixed. Here we are in July, and still no watch. They keep promising to get it out 'this week'. Never happens. Now, there's no response to my emails. I'll never buy another Boderry! 🤬

[@thegorn]

They homaged this so they could improve it. The homaged model has fixed springbars which means NATO only. This has removable springbars, which is why I bought it. I dislike NATOs as they make the watch sit too high and are a pain to get on and off. Prefer rubber or leather. I have a leather deployant to use for this.

[@wbwills2]

. Tracking all the way fro china.different than other things ive ordered for sure.hope it works out.return or service eplacement may not be an option.?.Agreed.options.good..have one otw

[@dubester1982]

True, and you ever notice that most of the blown spring bars seen tend to be on NATOs? Sure, they save the watch, but I also think that they cause the failure when folks wear them too tight so one begets the other. Can't stand NATOs personally, give me a bracelet or rubber strap all day long

[@shaunmclaughlin5167]

Bertucci’s use single pass Zulu style straps, not NATO watch straps which use a second piece of strap to loop the strap through before closing it. This makes the watch more secure at the trade off of sitting higher on the wrist. With my Bertucci sits really flat against my wrist and you can hardly tell there’s a piece of fabric underneath. You can use a NATO on a Bertucci but it’s not practically necessary unless you prefer the look. The advantage of a NATO is it prevents your watch falling off if one of the spring bars breaks. The fixed lug bars on a Bertucci are strong enough you’ll have more problems than a broken watch if one failed.

[@darioschler7936]

Didn't get it... Does it have sapphire glass or not?

[@ShinyThings]

Yes, the glass is Sapphire.

[@markaponte7057]

Bertucci copy cat?

[@dubester1982]

In the sense that it's also a field watch? Sure. Otherwise, it's an improvement all around vs Bertucci.
