Screwdriver, Took Kit, Spring Bar Tool and Potential Strap Pairings:

    First impression, I'm inclined not to disagree! It's a beauty and sits excellently on the wrist. HA has been doing some pretty incredible things with design, finishing and use of color. Cheers

    Saw these on the HA site, and despite a lack of reviews I couldn't resist the Vesterhav Meteor. I'm so glad I bought it, it looks stunning and feels beautifully made. Good to see it getting some coverage.

    Wow, that dial looks awesome. And I really like the blueish / grey accents the seconds hand and hour markers have, they make it even more interesting to look at. I am also leaning more and more into bolder colors and this is one of the nicest ones I have seen. Congrats, this is a really nice watch overall, nice 9 series movement, quick adjustement, 200m, so the price is very reasonable. I think I will check out their website again.

    If you're looking to add some color, few (if any) use it better than Henry Archer! They have so many gorgeous combos (many of which are no longer on the website, as they're constantly doing new batches with different variations). Fit and finish is generally pretty remarkable for the price too (this one doesn't seem to be an exception to that experience). Cheers

    Excellent! From what I've seen so far, and past HA experiences, I think you'd love it! Exceptional finishing for the money. I'll of course thoroughly explore it for the full review. You can't go wrong with any of the colors. They make some of the best purple dials around (I still pine for that Iris/Lavender Nordsø, even after seeing this one 😄) Cheers

    Couldn't agree more! They're quickly becoming less of a "sleeper" brand as more people give them a shot, but they're doing so much right. Which model did you get?

    I picked the lavender I prefer the way it plays in the light and the way you can see the dial texture over the purple Also prefer the blue/ teal red and lavender scheme vs adding an extra color

    You can't go wrong either way, but I'm very happy with this version! The only one I MAY pick over it is the Iris Nordsø for dial color. However, the Vesterhav gets the nod between the two (again, both models being great). The full review is dropping this week and may further help with the decision. Cheers

    Warning to all: The watch bracelet is so sharp on my wrist it feels like my wrist is burning after wearing for a few hours. I guess I will have to sell it on ebay as their refund policy doesn't allow returns if the plastic wrap is removed. Very disappointing.

    If you haven't already, I'd reach out to Henrik. This is not consistent with my experience nor others I've seen. Assuming something isn't defective, it may be something is otherwise causing the irritation (ex: nickel allergy or something). I let the brand owner know about the issue and he asked that you please reach out.

    I've had some cases/bracelets where the QR bars caused hotspots too, though I generally prefer they be included. On the plus side, they can always be swapped for traditional bars, but the opposite unfortunately isn't true due to necessary relief cuts in the end link.
