Amazon.com: Customer reviews: Junghans Max Bill Automatic Mens Watch - 38mm Analog White Face Classic Watch with Luminous Hands and Date - Stainless Steel Black Leather Band Luxury Watch for Men Made in Germany 027/4700.00

Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2015

This is a beautiful piece. It keeps great time, and feels very sturdy without feeling too heavy. Understated and elegant, the face is very easy to read. The band is made of good quality leather.

I would recommend this watch to anyone looking for a quality watch at a reasonable price.

I rarely do not write reviews but for those novice-not-so-quite-hardcore-watch enthusiast who still want a good watch, here you go.

First, the diameter of the watch is NOT 38mm. It is actually 36mm. The lug to lug length IS 38 mm. I have a small dainty wrist, 6.25” so this wears perfectly. For those of you with smaller wrists, this fit is ideal.
The dome crystal gives the watch a really interesting look. Watch is light, not heavy at all.

Lug width is 20mm, so lots of strap options. I wanted to preserve the provided strap (weird habit of mine) so I bought a black vegan Colareb strap (also from Amazon). I also put it on a navy blue nato strap during one hot summer trip to Napa. I wear it to work with a shirt and tie and sometimes during the weekends with a casual big sweater. My point is that this watch is VERY versatile.

I guess some “negatives” about the watch...

When I wind the watch around the eighth turn the resistance is pretty tough. The crown size is on the smaller end so it my fingers start to hurt.

You will immediately notice a “rattle” when you pick up the watch. For the uninitiated this is simply the rotor and perfectly normal. I have a vintage Omega Seamaster and it is dead silent. So having bought this watch the noise was immediately noticeable. So it does “rattle” but it’s not because it’s broken. That being said this Max Bill is actually loud for a watch. When typing away at work, with one ear bud in playing music I can hear the ticking of this watch! So for those of you who are sensitive to sounds this could be an issue. It isn’t for me and I attribute this to the thinner metal case that doesn’t dampen the sound of the movement. It’s actually quite soothing for me.

Last thing to note: I don’t know if it’s just my watch or if it is a consistent issue across other watches of this model but very rarely my date disc gets stuck and does not change when running unworn. My watch was not secure on its cushion when I received it so I’m going to blame it on how the seller shipped it.

Other than that this is a fantastic watch. I can not recommend it enough. It’s a super versatile watch you can put any strap on and with pretty much any outfit. I got it on Black Friday of 2018 for $650! I don’t know if I would pay the $900 range I’m seeing for the model with a date complication. But I can’t recommend it enough!

It is fantastic and the aesthetics are better than the competition (as well as much higher priced watches). I thoroughly researched watches in this price category and I think I made the right choice. I highly recommend it.

The watch has a beautiful design and understated looks. Each Item of the watch face has a purpose. The numbers are situated where the time is really easy to read. Please note that the watch band in 20mm and is not 18mm. I thought the watch band was cheap and I quickly replace it. Even though I use it as my main dress watch, it seems at times the watch can look a little too playful for a dress watch.

The design outweigh the cons

The watch did rattle a bit, i think the rotor is a bit loose. But the dial, design and the overall look of the watch still make this watch very very good. And yeah, the strap is definitely not special but suits the watch very well.

Klasse Uhr zum spitzen Preis!

Reviewed in Germany on June 6, 2014

Junghans Max Bill - vielen wird sie zu bieder sein. Ich finde sie gerade wegen ihres reduzierten und funktionellen Designs (eben Bauhaus-Stil) sehr ansprechend. Für eine Uhr in dieser Preisklasse ist sie wirklich gut verarbeitet, da stört mich auch nicht das Plexiglas. Man muss halt aufpassen.

Die Größe von 38 mm ist für mein Handgelenk optimal. Das Lederband schmiegt sich sehr angenehm dem Handgelenk an. Wegen des geringen Gewichts spürt man die Uhr kaum, was dem Tragekomfort zugute kommt.

Meine Uhr ist sehr gut einreguliert und läuft sehr gangstabil und relativ genau. Nachdem ich die Uhr nach der Funkuhr gestellt habe, ist die Gangabweichung mit ca. +1 sec. pro Tag absolut spitze.

Die Junghans erhält man bei dem aktuellen Amazon-Preis von 645,- EUR zu einem absoluten Spitzenpreis. Vor allem wenn man bedenkt, dass so mancher große Schweizer Uhrenhersteller auch nur ein "schnödes" ETA-Kaliber verbaut.

Eine sehr schöne Uhr, allerdings entsprechen die Bilder nicht ganz dem Original! Tatsächlich ist das Zifferblatt gelbstichiger als auf dem Foto. Zudem ist das Glas sehr stark gewölbt und nicht, wie das Bild vermuten lässt, plan. Diese beiden Dinge lassen die Uhr sehr bieder wirken. Auf jeden Fall erst im Original anschauen!!
