Initially, the model I was looking for showed out of stock. Normally this means a long wait. However this was not the case as your shop was restocked quickly and at better pricing. This is my second watch from here and the process has been great.
Recently became aware of Vostok watches and was intrigued by the brand. I am enjoying the watch and some of its unique qualities. Ordering was easy and arrived very promptly.
Well designed and intuitive website with watches you definitely don't see every day. Check out was very easy. Shipment was prompt and tracked well. When I received the watch, it was well packed. It was exactly as described. I've worn it a few times, and I received compliments for the color and style.
The watch is a total piece of junk. I hate it. Responce to Roman's comments: Well, if the shoe was on the other foot and it was me who was the business owner, and I had a customer contact me and was dissatisfied with my product, I would issue an unconditional refund. That wasn't the case here. When I received the watch the crown and the stem did not operate properly and I assume that it was damaged in shipping. I contacted the company and the only real response I got from them is that they were going to defend the design, and they told me that's how the watch is supposed to function. I have been collecting watches for quite some time and that really didn't make any sense to me since wrist watch crown and stem design was figured out a long long time ago. The whole “wobbly” crown argument seemed to be absurd. It appears as if the only thing that Roman once out of this is to have the last word and to take my $100. You know when these guys respond to you they try to paint you like you're some kind of idiot because you don't understand. I fully understand. You guys are con artists and you're selling junk trying to stand behind it like it's some quality timepiece.
I had already posted the review before you sent the message saying you will wave the 20% charge. Try to make the customer look like a jerk. Smooth move.
Was sold a defective watch that can't be worn at all in an even vaguely humid climate without fogging over and becoming unreadable. Scuba dude store declined to assist and states that this is normal. WHAT?!? Oh but they did change the website listing to reflect that there is absolutely no water resistance of any kind on this watch after the fact. So super cool move there. True, it wasn't advertised as unwearable trash. But it IS unwearable trash. Having it dried once doesn't do anything to prevent the same issue recurring, but they did offer that before rescinding that offer and keeping 100% of my money in exchange for garbage. Great to know there's absolutely no warranty of any kind offered on this junk, but hey there's theoretically a 30 day return policy if they actually chose to honor it. Would have been so much less frustrating if they simply acknowledged the issue and rectified it rather than trying to make it my fault that a wristwatch can't handle slightly humid. Lol, I did have it professionally dried at my own expense and it fogged back up within five minutes at 65% humidity.
Was simple and got the watch I wanted (170600). It had clear stickers on the front and back so seemed to be fresh from the factory. Watch runs fast 26 sec/day or so before I attempt to fine tune it. Works great and feels more sturdy than I expected for 150 bucks. I recomend swapping to a new strap asap, the stock rubber strap is massive and chunky which makes sense for its history. I was worried that my sleeves would hit the watch and not go over, but it works ok most of the time if I dont use a nato strap. Only thing I could complain about is 3+ emails asking for a review, lol.
The shopping, shipping, and delivery experience was great. The watch was well priced compared to other vendors and the shipping was super fast. The watch was well packed and showed up in excellent shape.
Surprisingly good! I thought it was going to be a piece of junk but I was wrong! Well built and comfortable. I bought 2 more of different styles for my collection.
This store has been absolutely fantastic. Products are shipped promptly, and through the problems I have had, the customer service has been excellent. Quick replies, always working in the customers interest, and care taken to make sure everything is as it should be!
Fantastic watch and fast shipping. Watch case has some sharp edges from factory, nothing a file can't sort. Metal bracelet and clasp are sturdy. Watch only gains a few seconds a day. However please do not perform the "Date Hack". It does put strain on the movement and will shorten the life of the watch. Your pinion gear and date wheel spring will thank you.
