UNDONE Basecamp - 40mm Case Size, 100M Water Resistance Men's Automatic Wrist Watch

I’m very pleased with this watch. It’s sporty, perfect size and very attractive. The Japanese automatic movement is very accurate and keeps better time than my Rolex Submariner!

I purchased a different model from undone, and was incredibly impressed with its power reserve. It functions better than my Rolex in terms of infrequent wear. I could lay it down for a week and pick it up to see the correct time. However, this model doesn’t perform as well. But it’s a beautiful time piece worth having.

Pros: – case material and finish good – screw down crow – hacking – overall styling is nice Cons: – strap looks/feels cheap – bezel rotates in both directions and isn't very secure (not good) – crystal has a depression in the center Overall the worst part is the bezel is not uindirectional and does not click like a diver watch would, you'll probably find yourself adjusting this often to keep the start position orientated at 12 o'clock. $100 less that list would be a better price point for this watch.

For this much money for a watch, it should at least keep the time for a little while, not stop and start and be completely off. This product does not work. Too bad because it looks great, but that's about all. Returned immediately.

This is truly a fantastic watch that hits the marks in many ways. Right out of the box, this watch exudes simplicity. The watch face has a clear simple military presentation, which makes reading the time effortless. I found the watch to be a perfect size and weight for my 7" diameter wrist. The bezel has a smooth rotation in both directions. The star of the show for this watch is its automatic MI NH35 movement, which is made by Seiko and is one of the most frequently used movements in the present-day watchmaking industry. Also, the Lexan polycarbonate lens and 40mm 316L stainless steel case allow the watch to be lightweight and well-balanced on the wrist. The luminescence is very bright and noticeable in low light. The nylon strap is nice and sturdy and enhances the military look of the watch and can easily be switched out if it's not your style. My only criticism is that the watch does not come with any instruction manual in the box. In place, there is a card, inviting the user to scan a QR code to download the instruction. At minimum, at this price, UNDONE should include a simple care and instruction booklet for anyone that may not be able to scan or download a manual. But, figuring out how to set time on this watch was pretty intuitive. In short, this is a great durable workhorse of a watch that will perform and keep accurate time while looking great on your wrist. This watch looks impressive in its simplicity and if you don't care about flashy brand names, this watch is worth every penny and would make a great gift for yourself or that someone special. I have no issues recommending this watch.

Not terrible looking but nothing special. Colors did not stand out like the pictures online, looks like a lower end watch. The leather strap was one of the cheapest feeling and looking straps I’ve seen.

This a handsome watch that borrows heavily from Omega Seamaster and Blancpain Fifty Fathoms, with a touch of Rolex’s Explorer, GMT thrown in. I really love the fact that they didn’t bother to put in a date function because it would have thrown off the symmetry. As it is, the face is strong, symmetrical, clean and exceptionally easy to read. The bezel rotates but with no clicks. Still, it provides some resistance and will stay put where you set it. Because of the bezel’s sleek, minimalist, glossy look, the case's polished surfaces and a modest 100M water resistance, this is definitely not a dive watch but a slick "tool watch” that can double as dressy-casual. With a strong wrist presence, it gives you some flair without breaking the bank. At the time of this review, however, the watch is listed for $325 with a polycarbonate crystal, not sapphire, a ubiquitous and humble NH-35 movement and basic bezel made of what? Doesn’t say, which makes me think it is not sapphire but also polycarbonate (?). All this would be better and more fairly priced at comfortably below $300. At 15mm, the case is thick but reads slimmer, as 2mm of that is probably the domed crystal. And take the watch off the nato and you’ll keep an even lower profile. Lug to lug, it’s 48mm but even on my 6.5 inch wrist it fits. Lug width is 20mm. Case is 40mm not including the signed crown. Bottom line, it sits nicely on the wrist. Wears like a 41, maybe 42mm. Keeps very good time. Gained maybe 5 seconds in one day. That's fine with me. The nato strap is good and a notch up from Ali straps, but it was not all that comfortable to me. I plan on swapping it out for some leather. Or dress it up with a Milanese bracelet. It can handle a lot of different kinds of straps. The lume starts out strong but weakens within fifteen, twenty minutes. Within hours, it’s tough to read the time by lume. Lastly, there is something contradictory about a tool watch, called “Basecamp" sporting such a high-gloss, formal look. If you really plan on using this as a beater, it will look the part. Fast. The crystal and bezel will easily scratch if you put them in harm's way. So I would have preferred less shine and more sandblasted, mat or brushed surfaces, including the bezel; and it could do with a sapphire crystal. I won’t be using this while doing yard work. But I think it’s a smart, casual weekender watch; and it’s better dressed up than down.
