Berny AM439MS Diver’s Watch

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/

Berny 200m Yellow Diver’s Watch

Berny Package

Have you ever known this brand? Berny, there are a lot of other brands in China making the similar watches, affordable price, acceptable quality and sports outlook. I made some searches about this brand on the internet, and found Berny is registered by a company in Shenzhen of China, the company name is Shenzhen Berny Industrial Co., Ltd, which was founded in 1995, but this watch brand was created in 2013. Well, I checked the website of Berny, and have found they make a lot of watches in different styles, not only the homages. About this Berny watch, it is claimed to be 200m water resistant on their website, I do not know if it can resist that deep pressure under water, and why they did not print “200m” on the dial.

This Berny watch has classic features of a diver’s watch, big case, highly-readable dial design and rubber band. Berny offers black, white, blue, green and yellow dial color options for this watch, I like the one with yellow dial, it has a brighter color and will easily catch the others’ attention in the crowd when playing on the beach. Checking the appearance, it just looks like a professional diver’s watch, and the watch company indeed claims that this watch is 200m water resistant on their website. The watch has a big case that is 42mm in diameter and 14mm in thickness, a bit thick, but I usually would like such a thick case for a diver’s watch. The two crowns on the case are big, the purpose to make them big may be for easy operation when the diver needs to wear gloves under water.

Berny Yellow Watch

Everything on the yellow dial looks reasonable. Hour markers, hour hand and minute hand have a wide design so that they can be applied with enough lume material, when under water or in any other dark conditions, the dial can emit considerable lume light from the dial. The central second hand is in red, which enhances the dial readability of the watch. There is a white triangle mark on the slopy inner bezel, you can rotate the inner bezel by adjusting the crown at 2 o’clock, the white triangle mark will also move when you rotating the crown to help you fix the diving time. The big crown at 4 o’clock is used to adjust time, day and date.

The watch comes with a see-through crystal back, well, I do not know what movement inside, the watch company said the movement is from Japan. This black rubber band looks well on the watch, and it is more suitable to be worn outside your diving suit.

Buying advice:

The black rubber band looks better on the Berny watch than the stainless steel bracelet, and it seems to be more in line with the diving style. This is one of the best-selling diver’s watches from Berny, also the first watch I suggest you buy if you want a watch from Berny. It has a simple dial design but highly recognizable, the Japanese Miyota movement guarantees durability and high stability. Besides the yellow dial, there are choices of black dial and white dial, please check at https://www.aliexpress.com/item/2251832726154856.html
