They know about colour, proportion and design. Nice.

[@WatchtheTime]

They sure do mate and I’m pleased you like it. For me, it’s a definite keeper 👍👍

[@GalorOffroad]

This is a very nice watch, the dial is superb ! The launch price in the first days was insane 🤑 I just would have prefer a bit smaller case. And I agree with you, the white date disk is a bit of shame.

[@WatchtheTime]

It was indeed insane and if truth be told, is still exceptionally well priced. I know what you mean about the size but I think the size is ok. Thanks for watching man 👍👍

[@MrPINKFL0YD]

Thanks for the review

[@WatchtheTime]

No problem mate - thanks for watching 👍👍

[@appiusjw]

Thx a lot, man! I ordered this watch. And U showed perfectly what I can count on. Nice watch! 👍

[@WatchtheTime]

I’m glad you like the watch and I really appreciate you watching mate, thank you 👍👍

[@adk7962]

Very nice. I think their Voyager line is one of the best value Field Watches out there. I wish their lug holes were just a little bit closer to the case though. I’m not into bronze watches but thanks for the great review!

[@WatchtheTime]

I agree. The lug width etc is something I mentioned on their titanium watch, so I didn’t want to repeat myself too much with the bronze version but you’re right. Still much to like though especially for the price 👍👍

[@ukjay4946]

Great Review Mate

[@WatchtheTime]

Thanks man I really appreciate that 👍👍

[@JG-ib7xk]

The shipping is taking ages on these isnt it, been waiting ages!

[@piquetuk]

Bloody hell, I'm glad it's not just me I've been waiting 6 weeks now. The tracking never updates so I've no idea. Wish I'd got it from AliEx now.

[@WatchtheTime]

I agree with you both as mine took ages as well. I’m sorry to hear that yours still hasn’t arrived but I can promise you, It’ll be worth the wait 👍👍

[@JG-ib7xk]

​​@@piquetukmine actually turned up about 2 hours ago, super impressed and was worth the wait. The strap it comes with isn't great and makes it wear much larger than it actually is. I got the black one and put quite a thin black rubber strap on it and it looks amazing, really pleased. Hope yours turns up soon too, I'm seeing quite a lot of people saying theirs are arriving over the past couple of days so hopefully you won't be waiting much longer 👍

[@stevenstanley9979]

I received mine yesterday after ordering on 6th October, frustrating but now it's here , it's quality. I went for the black dial and also my first bronze . You won't be disappointed

[@magicofeverything1985]

Ordered 11.11 still no update for tracking

[@lawrence-ec5dm]

After watchin your video of this boderry I am going to give my titanium one the myota movement just one more go ,if it doesn't behave its going where all the rubbish goes the bin.great video as usual.

[@WatchtheTime]

Fair enough mate 👍👍

[@erikbasil2787]

The shipping took forever because of a problem at the factory, but my watch has arrived in exactly the combination you've reviewed. This is an outstanding little watch. I did see a suggestion elsewhere to trim the double pass band into a single pass, I did that and it fits much better than the OEM version.

[@WatchtheTime]

They said something similar to me and in addition to that there was issues with the courier company. It’s a stunning watch mate - enjoy 👍👍

[@Mauricio.Solorzano]

You blew me away with this watch ... stunning mate! Chinise watches are getting better and better nd incredible prices and great quality ... who needs Swiss made???

[@WatchtheTime]

I’m glad you like it mate and like you it blew me away too. For the money, this is going to be very hard to match or beat. Thanks for watching 👍👍

[@mattt1974UK]

Thanks for reviewing this. I've had my eye on it for a long time. I'd have bought it when it first came out if wasn't for the dial cock-up confusion.

[@WatchtheTime]

I know many, many people felt the same about the text on the dial and I’m relived to see it was just a misprint on advertising with the actual watches having the correct text 👍👍

[@mattt1974UK]

@@WatchtheTime except it wasn't a misprint. It went into production with Titanium on the dial. There's a video on YT from a guy who bought it.

[@WatchtheTime]

@mattt1974UK really?? Firstly, how did he receive one so quickly?? There has been a huge delay in postage 🤔

[@mattt1974UK]

@@WatchtheTime search Voyager Bronze.

[@lawrence-ec5dm]

Bit of a shame the date wheels on the darker one's are white ruines the look,nice to see they know are using the NH movement, I have the titanium one with the myota movement absolutely useless looses a lot of time and constantly stops.great video as usual.

[@WatchtheTime]

True on all counts. I don’t hate the 8215 but I don’t like the non hacking version of that movement. I mean in 2023, who wants a non hacking movement? Thank for watching man 👍👍

[@TheGoldenMetal]

Wanted this watch a while ago. Whats is sad about it is the white date window that should have been black to match the dial. Or just not have a date window at all would have been even better. I don't know why most brands even the most expensive ones are obsessed with date window..

[@WatchtheTime]

I completely agree and it is why it was the only thing I mentioned in my ‘pants’ section 👍👍

[@highloughsdrifter1629]

Your case looks very yellow (maybe lighting) compared to mine (same colour options). Mine is quite pink, like rose gold. Hopefully it will tone down over time. If they made one without the date window I'd have gone for that. I'm considering cutting the strap down as well. The double pass makes the watch sit too high and I think it will catch on things. Delivery time for me was over two months, but I understand there were problems and I was expecting a bit of a wait. The watch is worth it.

[@WatchtheTime]

I think given the fact it’s bronze, you’ll find that the colour will differ slightly depending on the patina. I’m glad you like it mate and I can completely see why - enjoy man 👍👍

[@dubester1982]

I own two of the titanium ones, the white on an elastic nato and black on a bracelet and love them. This bronze with the green dial has had my eye for awhile, its gorgeous. Ive held off due to what ive been hearing about the delivery times though. Ill wait until Amazon starts carrying these, as that's where i picked up both of my titanium ones

[@WatchtheTime]

Ah nice one mate. Probably a good idea in the current climate, what with postage being what it is. Thanks for watching 👍👍

[@patersong8777]

It is currently available on Amazon ✌️🙂

[@thomasparker9822]

I had already purchased this watch before I saw your very thorough review of it. I bought it for all the positive features you cited in your review. It is my third bronze watch and this one may turn out to be my favorite. My only complaint is the one you mentioned about the date window. on the other hand, it is a tool watch and I have too many watches that are constructed with a date window so inconspicuous that they are not legible without finding a source of bright light and bringing them close to one's face which destroys the purpose of the feature. Keep up your great reviews.

[@WatchtheTime]

You’ll love it mate, it’s an exceptionally well made and well specs watch for the price and I definitely take your point on the date colour. Many for your kind words and for watching 👍👍

[@RenghisKhan]

To me the lug width looks disproportionate. I would have preferred 20mm insiead of 22mm.

[@WatchtheTime]

I agree tbh mate and it’s something I mentioned in the video + cover more in the titanium version, I just didn’t want to repeat myself too much with their bronze model 👍👍

[@magicofeverything1985]

Still waiting for mine,ordered 11.11

[@craigs1710]

Great review. What is your wrist size for reference?

[@WatchtheTime]

Many thanks mate and my wrist is just above a 7’ wrist, I hope that helps 👍👍

[@K_j_M]

I'd take this over the titanium version all day

[@WatchtheTime]

Me too mate 👍👍

[@K_j_M]

Up for 80 quid at min but sadly.... I'm just not in a position to buy anything. Bummer!

[@K_j_M]

Bah, that was the titanium one! 135 delivered for bronze. Def not in budget at min!

[@WatchtheTime]

It’s a shame it’s not in your budget mate as it’s a cracking watch 👍👍

[@mattt1974UK]

Is the strap solid leather so the end could be cut shorter?

[@WatchtheTime]

Great shout mate and that may just work as it does in fact look like a single piece of leather - thank you 👍👍

[@mattt1974UK]

@@WatchtheTime did you try cutting it? I should be getting mine for Christmas.

[@WatchtheTime]

@mattt1974UK I haven’t yet mate as not had the time and not wore it for a few weeks. I definitely will do though 👍👍

[@DustinRNewton]

Case is a bit small, but still a beautiful watch. I tried to buy the green dial one 5 weeks ago directly from Boderry. No communications, no response to tracking inquiries (They sent a tracking number, but never shipped the item), noting. The day that it was supposed to be delivered (5 weeks after ordering), I received a notice that it may be 1-3 days late, LOL. Yesterday, at the 5 week and 3 day mark, they just cancelled the order, still with no communication. It's a beautiful watch, but I don't trust the company, and won't try to order again. Congrats to the few that actually received one but for others on the fence, keep track of your order and payment, Boderry itself seems to be a bit sketchy, at best.

[@WatchtheTime]

I’m really sorry to hear about your ordeal mate, that is far from good enough but from talking to them, they have been blown away but the response and how many watches they sold, not that, that is an excuse. If the opportunity presents in the future, I’d definitely recommend getting one as for the money, it’s quite outstanding 👍👍

[@patersong8777]

[@siglavikingkearns8108]

I recently purchased a bronze diver and the crown pulled completely out of the watch. They sent me another one and it's crown didn't work properly either. They hinted that I didn't know how to handle an auto watch. I'v had a number of them. I now have 2 pieces of junk in a drawer and I'm out CAD $240.

I like the black dial best and that slim case. However that strap looks awful and I would change it for a regular 2 piece leather strap.

@alanhodgkinson3137 nice one mate. I’m sure you’ll love your new Escapement Time watch, they make some cracking pieces and very affordable too. I have one coming up on the channel very soon 👍👍

[@alanhodgkinson3137]

Hiya mate. Well, the escapement time arrived and it's lovely! What a great looking watch and am loving the meca-quartz movement. Didn't like the strap though so changed it to a really nice dark blue one instead. And in other news, after almost a two week wait, my Boderry voyager bronze arrived. Omg!!! It's lush!!! Downside is the ridiculous thickness of the strap. Thinking of cutting it down to make it a single pass instead because it's actually were in keeping with the watch and very comfortable. Anyway keep up the good work 😊

[@WatchtheTime]

Nice one mate, thanks for the update and I’m glad it arrived safely - enjoy 👍👍

[@violinmke]

It took a month for their titanium one to get to me and it hadn't been shipped from 11/11 I bugged them at the 18 day mark. I lik😮e it and would buy this one but not taking the chance. Fool me once...
