Customer Reviews

First Class watches have a very good support customer service and quick turn around ready to sort out any issues should they occur. A very positive attitude too to help. Definitely recommended.

Second G Shock I've bought from FCW. Always a good service from these guys spoke to Roland a few times. Always very helpful. Watch came on time as promised. Well done again guys

First thing to say about this watch is to correct the many erroneous intimations on the internet describing this watch as an 'office' GMT. The Tissot Seastar 1000 GMT is a 'true' or 'flyer' or 'traveller' GMT watch - the hour hand is moved independently when changing time zones. Given the high quality and the classic GMT format, that surely means that this is by far the best-value 'true' GMT watch on the market - top marks to Tissot for producing this. While reeking of a quality well above its price point, this watch is surprisingly weighty for its 40mm - it has a presence on the wrist which will be familiar to those who enjoy the more substantial type of dive watch. Needless to say its quartz mechanism keeps perfect time - mine is correct to the second and has been so for ages. The main hands and hour-markers are impressively luminous when the light fades. The small luminous marks on the second hand and GMT hand are sadly beyond catching with my ancient eyes but they are there. The bi-directional bezel turns easily enough when required and is not luminous. The watch could be improved by removing the (unwanted on any tool-watch) date window - but I admit that is only my personal prejudice. Lastly, there is something about the lovely red colour of the GMT hand which just sets up the display perfectly - I know they make it in other colours (green), but the red looks just right to me. Altogether this is a beautiful GMT watch at a fantastic price.

My first Herbelin watch (it will not be my last). This watch is really very nice. I consider it represents excellent value for the money I paid.Stand out spec, good quality leather strap. And great service from FCW

Bought as a gift for my wife. She is delighted with her new watch. Delivery was super fast. Gift wrapping was a nice touch too.

Great watch

Everything about this watch makes it just about the perfect pilot's watch. As a (former) pilot and as a collector of watches I have firm ideas of what a pilot's watch should and should not be - not a chronograph with distracting sub-dials - not a pretend flight computer with extraneous outer rings and bezels - not a GMT watch with a distracting fourth hand which is of little use in flight. The Longines Spirit 40mm pilot watch gets top marks for presenting none of these flaws. Furthermore this watch has easily the most readable dial and hands - in any light or lack of light conditions - of any watch I have owned. One does not need to read the time from this watch it is simply seen with the merest of glances - the gold on black format is highly visible in light shining from any angle with a gradual change to luminous green as the light fades - I have other watches which do this - but Longines seem to do it best. Importantly, the minute and second hands of this watch protrude into and over the minute/second markers on the dial - this is an important feature of a true pilot watch and one where many so-called pilot watches fail badly. Also, there is no distracting and therefore unwanted date window - simply a highly visible dial and three highly visible hands which tell the time to the exact second. That's what's wanted and and this watch delivers it beautifully. My watch gains about 1 second per day currently which is perfectly acceptable for an automatic chronometer and the only adjustment I have made to the watch has been to soften the initially stiffish strap with a couple of applications of Lord Sheraton's Balsam. This is a beautiful and impressive watch.

I looked at a few different Field watch types but this was the one that really took my eye. Firstly, it's a Casio Solar which is a massive plus for me. Secondly, the design was a little bit more modern and rugged looking. Lastly, you got the additional features such as an alarm, world time, and all the othe features than come as standard with a Casio. The only drawback was that it wasn't a G Shock, but that said it's got the look of a G Shock.
It's nice to wear, not too heavy and clunky which I like, plus it looks good for the price in fact it's a bargain.

Great watch and very fast delivery.
These guys did me the best deal I could find on the ‘31 movement’ as I wanted the longer power reserve.
A historical replica piece styled on those issued to Luftwaffe pilots in WW2.
German quality, engineering and styling in one automatic watch for well under £500…does watch buying get any better at this price point ??
