Great watch.

Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2016

It is a beauty watch. Is the most striking and best designed of all my watches, including Mido, Tissot, Omega and Victorinox. Complies with the principles of good design Dieter Rams.

Very unreliable watch with a short battery life of 1 year

Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2021

I bought mine (not from this business) from Braun in Feb 2019, and this watch is very unreliable. It only lasted 2 years, and now I have to spend $180 to a company in Utah to repair it. It's also taking them 3 months (but that's becuase of the pandemic).

A Conversation Piece // Industrial Design at its Best

I had a dilemma concerning this watch. I have covet it for a while but I have never pulled the trigger because I didn't feel like paying what was asked for. One day I caught a sale here on Amazon and finally bought it. Then I had my reservations about keeping it. The reason I was doubtful about keeping it was that event tho I love the design, I felt it looked a little big on my wrist. After a week or so looking at it, I decided to keep it and I'm glad I took that decision. After a while it has grown on my.

This watch was a collaboration between Braun (mostly an electric shaver manufacturer these days. It licensed the brand name to Zeon Ltd) and Ventura (google Ventura watch). In fact, this watch uses a Ventura module and it is made in Germany. The watch was design by Studio Hannes Wettstein (google it) in Switzerland which has designed many of the Ventura and Nomos Glashütte watches. Take a look at their work and you will see industrial design at its best.

The fit and finish of this watch is outstanding. From the watch case to the bracelet to the clasp closure, this is as solid as its gets.

I'm being finicky and notching one star off because at the price point of this watch, not using a sapphire crystal is questionable. (it uses some "hardened K1 mineral crystal". Also, the scrolling wheel is plastic (while the whole watch is solid Stainless Steel), and every now and then it gets suck in the "push" position. Not a big deal, but that is not supposed to happen.

All in all, if you get it, you will get used to getting compliments. Also, this watch will have its detractors as the Bauhaus lines might not fit everyone's taste. For some reason people tend to be vocal about this watch (whether they like it or not). It evokes feelings, as good design should do.

PS. 1) If you want to see a formal review with a video, just Google "a blog to watch Braun BN0106 " it should be the first link on Google.
2) This watch is the winner of iF Design Award in 2012
3) This watch is the winner of Red Dot Design Award in 2012

“Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the western spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun. Orbiting this at a distance of roughly ninety-two million miles is an utterly insignificant little blue green planet whose ape-descended life forms are so amazingly primitive that they still think digital watches are a pretty neat idea.”

Nice watch with an annoying design flaw

Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2020

Verified Purchase

I've owned this watch for about 4 years now, and it seems to work just fine for me. Since this watch is a "design" statement, the thing that drives me crazy is the edge of the stainless steel on the bottom 1/3 of the case. The designers wanted to make the edge as crisp as possible, and so it is a hard right angle. Since real people wear the watch, that corner edge gets dinged and looks uneven and reflects light in a way that draws attention to the unevenness of the edge. Interestingly, the crystal edge remains undamaged. It would have been far better if the designers had put a very small chamfer or rounded edge on the stainless.

Retro design and German design at the right price

Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2020

Verified Purchase

Pros:
-sophisticated & unique look
-nice big numbers, easy to read
-feels substantial yet not bulky

Cons:
-plastic control dial is a bit flaky

Summary: Worth it at $300. Would be even better if controls were all metallic and had a sapphire crystal.

The watch is outstanding and more than meets my expectations! But, the operating manual information provides a dearth of information, be prepared to struggle a little before you achieve best results. The watch was delivered with a dead battery so it was slow making it operational at first.
