    I’ve heard the owner is a bit, shall we say, controlling, with the narrative of his reviews. And for the $400 price point, I don’t think the watches are anything to write home about. They’re a pass from me.

      Oh, I see. Does anything stand out as not as good as it should be for the price?

      It’s a shame, I haven’t found such a classy-looking diver at this price. I really love the look

        See, I already found your choice of words sus given this is one currently available. Giving you the benefit of the doubt, don’t listen to me, man. A watch has value if you find that it has value to you. If you like it, and it’s in your price range, and it will make you happy, then buy it. Wear it and enjoy the hell out of it.

          My question was more to see if, basicaly, I could trust this brand to give me a (decent) watch. I’ve fallen into the trap of getting obcessed by a fashion “microbrand”, with some decently positive reviews, but also of reviews of watches literally falling apart in people’s hands. I haven’t read anything nearly as bad about Borealis, but I was left a bit “paranoid” because of that.

          I’m basicaly torn between this model and the Kamasu III. I really really like the Kamasu, and I know I’m going to get a good product from a trusted brand if I go with it, but this Borealis just speaks more to me.
