The deep blue watch face and the rosegold frame&hands are a match made in heaven, I dare say. The striking color does require a more thoughtful consideration of my outfit to go with the watch, but the beauty of it is more than worth the effort.
Now that I have seen how good-looking the watch is in person, I will definitely consider getting another one of different color in the future.
I do find myself often looking at the watch to check the date to no avail, but the clean aesthetic justifies the lack of a date indicator.
I love this watch! It's even better than I had pictured from the photos. Simple, dainty, minimalist, elegant. Easy to take off and put back on once you figure out the clasp. Very happy with my watch and definitely recommend.
Only thing of note is the water resistance - you can't wear it in the shower so be careful
I have loved the Strawberry Thief by Morris & Co for many years and was thrilled when I found a watch with this design. The watch itself is lovely. The perlon strap, however, is very stiff and uncomfortable. I have fairly small wrists and there is very little strap extending beyond the clasp - this strap definitely runs on the small side. I truly wish that this watch had interchangeable straps - the metal mesh straps that are available on other August Berg watches would be perfect. If it weren’t for the strap this watch would be a perfect 5 stars.

Edit: the team reached out to me and is sending me a watch without the poor engraving on it. They were extremely accommodating and offered to remedy the situation with great care. Mistakes happen and this organization made sure to do what they had the ability to do to make it better. Would buy from them again.
Original: Look, the watch on its own is very pretty and looks great. But this was an anniversary gift and I paid for the custom words on the back that were supposed to wrap around the outside of the top part of the back of the watch. Instead, it cuts across. I couldn’t get it fixed and back in time before our gift exchange so I live with that problem now.
Dear Sir,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with your August Berg watch. We deeply regret that the engraving on your anniversary gift did not meet your expectations and affected such a meaningful occasion.
We truly understand the importance of personalization for special moments like anniversaries, and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the misplacement of the engraving. This falls short of the high standards we aim to provide.
Your feedback is invaluable, and we are committed to using it to improve our services. We are currently reviewing our customization process to to ensure that every detail is handled with the utmost care in the future.
Thank you again for bringing this to our attention. If there is anything we can do to address this issue for you, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our customer service team at contact@augustberg.com. We are committed to making things right and restoring your trust in our brand.
