WatermanCarène Ballpoint Pen | Marine Amber with 23k Gold Clip | Medium Point with Blue Ink Cartridge | Gift Box

I am speechless!! The aesthetics of this LOVELY writing instrument is ALLURING. The weight and feel of it in your hand is PERFECT. Additionally, the smoothness of the ink once it contacts the paper is like spreading melted butter on a roll.SIMPLY CAPTIVATING!!

Beautiful instrument and it’s the smoothest writing pen I’ve ever used.

Great style for the $

I got this as a gift for a doctor friend of mine. She loved it and it was just beautiful.

This is my second Waterman Ballpoint Pen. It is beautiful, well balanced and writes nicely. However, the mechanism for extracting the ballpoint out seems cheap. You can hear and feel the spring twisting inside the pen. It often retracts itself. I did not have this issue with my previous Waterman Ballpoint Pen. The box was sealed but there was no warranty or instruction manual included.I also own a Waterman Carene Fountain Pen that I really enjoy. The contrast of quality between the two pens makes the ballpoint pen very disappointing.

Great writing instrument, will refer to family and friends.

The extend and retract mechanism does not work smoothly both ways. Twisting the barrel forward to extend the ballpoint feels tight and solid but when twisting the barrel backward to retract the ballpoint it feels like something is loose and not connecting inside the pen. Disappointing.

I've used the same 4 Cross pens for the last 39 years. For 13 years in the military, they fit in my BDU pocket and then for 26 years in private practice.I received a black Waterman pen as a gift many years ago as a groomsman's gift but never used it. After I retired, I open the box and tried it. To my amazement, I loved the feel. I wanted a nicer look at an affordable price and decided on the Marine Amber.It is gorgeous with changing highlights as you move the pen. I wish Waterman made a fine point though.
