Looks amazing on the wrist
Looks amazing on the wrist, speedy delivery and I am very pleased. Setting the time is very fiddly and took some patience, also not sure about the clasp as its near enough impossible to place on your own arm. So pleased with the final product, would definitely recommend.

Simply wonderful!!!
I have a real passion for watches, I really bought several, but I'm always looking for new, unique and original models like this signed by the Indonesian brand "Matoa" which I immediately fell in love! :)This model is called ALOR and it is made of Indonesian Makassar ebony, a known type of wood for its remarkable hardness; Entirely handmade with extreme care in every detail.Like all watches of the brand, it was produced with the waste from the manufacture of artisanal furniture, tables etc .., particularity that has greatly impressed me, and, fundamentally, having been in the wood it is Eco-Friendly, so with low environmental impact.Its design is in itself very simple, in fact, inside the rectangular dial, covered with hardened mineral crystal, we find just lancets gold color and a date window, fully functional; what makes it original are certainly details, such as the links of the strap from the very special process, really very nice to see, as well as the initial of the logo is visible on one of the links that the metal hook closure. In addition, the lid of the box are etched in addition to the brand, including its name and origin logo, while inside the strap is possible to read the serial number, details that ensure originality.The size is not overly large, approximately 43mm x 32mm x 11mm thick, with adjustable strap, making it suitable not only for men but also for us women, young and old. It 'very light and comfortable to wear, combined with an outfit both elegant and casual.It 'a watch with quartz movement made in Japan, and is declared waterproof (30M) to water splashes, so it is not obligatory to take it off when you wash your hands ... in any case, because the wood absorbs water I would avoid all contact;)In my opinion this is a really nice watch large, rugged, sophisticated, but, above all, made with top quality materials ... that is without a doubt the price paid (£79.00 at the time of writing, with free shipping), so I can only recommend its purchase to themselves or to make a very original gift that will certainly make a great impression.The clock also is sent, accompanied by certificate of one-year warranty, in a beautiful recycled cardboard box, lay down on a soft pillow brown suede, inside of an equally original packaging reminiscent of a strain, of course also in wood, which fits perfectly with the style and philosophy of the brand, and that may possibly be used as a small vase for flowers.* The watch was sent to me free of charge by the seller in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion.
