Berny is a Chinese watch brand founded by a company in Shenzhen of China, I posted one review about the Berny watch on my blog, it is a diving-style watch, on their website, they said this is a diver’s watch, and according to its dial design, it is indeed. Today, I want to introduce another Berny watch that is a new arrival from this watch company, this is also a diver’s watch and looks more attractive than the previous one. I know why Berny wants to design and produce this diver’s watch, because the first orange diving-style watch they designed has received a high recognition among watch fans, so they put emphasis on the design of diver’s watch, then this watch came out, with a more outstanding dial design. In the past, there is one development rule in the beginning of these micro brand homage watches, which is they will get a lot of attention as long as they make diver’s watches with strong lume, this rule still works, but some micro brands have started to focus on creating innovative designs.
The watch is not cheap, it is sold at around 150 US Dollars, but comes with a very common box, can not say ugly, but is it not good for this watch. Besides, the band for this watch also has a rubber strap option, I do not know why they did not send me one extra rubber band, which won’t cost too much.
This Berny watch is fully made with 316L stainless steel, the polished round bezel makes the watch looks bigger, and the polishing finish on the bezel forms a contrast with the brushing on both sides of the case. Two crowns are big, one for inner bezel rotation, the other is for time and date adjustment. The case is thick, which is almost 13.5mm, and this exactly explains why this watch feels very heavy that is up to 192 grams. The sapphire crystal is slightly under the bezel, I think this is better for protection.
The dial has all elements combined in different colors, there are orange, white, blue, black and grey, too many colors, but they do not interfere with your reading time from the dial. In dark place, the strong lume color in blue and orange enhances the entire dial beauty of the watch.
The bracelet does not have highlight designs, there is no brand logo on the buckle, if they have sent me one rubber band, I think I will change the rubber strap on the watch. Behind the case back, it is a Miyota movement, I think it is Miyota 8215, this movement is widely used in such type of Chinese watches with the same price point. You do not need to worry too much about its stability, this type of Japanese movements leaves their reputation to their high durability and low cost.
Conclusion:
It is a good watch, I think some of you guys will like it. The finish on the case and bracelet is acceptable, the box is a bit cheap, while the dial is too colorful. If you are considering to buy the first watch from Berny, I recommend the yellow one I reviewed before, https://www.bobswatchstore.com/2023/08/17/berny-200m-yellow-divers-watch/
