Stuff the haters. This watch looks good. I mean really good. It’s distinctive and classy, and you don’t see a lot of them. I’ll bet that ends up a long term keeper. No buyers remorse. Good.

Lots of things about this one that aren't for me, but I'm chuffed that you really like it.

Agreed. I own the 747 Community Watch and have no issue with your assessment, straight up. I love this watch though, even with all the short fallings. Surprisingly, to me, whenever I'm in the UK it's the only watch I get compliments on. I would say Bremont is a very much recognized brand in the UK from this.

Thanks for review. Love the combo of green and blue.

Nice one. The QC is quite surprising though.

Agreed, unacceptable at that price

Imperial Watch has a GMT with a similar coloured bezel. It also has a nicely tapering bracelet with on the fly micro adjustment for about 15% of the cost and the 20mm lug width will fit any normal strap. Amazing to me the lugs are so long and they still put the holes too close to the case…

Never been a fan of their models and heard they were not worth retail but value for money 2nd hand, although their rebrand has made them even less desirable to me

Been looking at this exact model for some time now. Really like it but not willing to pay full RRP in the UK.

I haven't really considered Bremont before, but it does look like a nice watch to me. I find the colors quite attractive (despite the odd choice with the date wheel), I like the size, the movement, the unusual case design that seems to be more than a gimmick, the bracelet looks comfy (I agree beads of rice would suit it). Disappointing about the cleanup job needed inside, but that's totally fixable and you did get a discount. It's a very nice watch IMO. Thanks for the show & tell with it. 👍

Not my cup of tea, but as a Seahawks fan those colors make it tempting

I like the colour

Good looking watch but maybe Bremont should have focused less on the packaging the watch came with and more on details on the products. I can see why Bremont is struggling. This is a very competitive price point. For me I would consider several alternative watches with better movements and are better executed.

My AD has one on blue rubber but its still £3,250.....at £2.5 I might consider this over a BB blue (used) which is my current target. Dissapointing about the lume tho......

colours are sick, they caught my eye too. too pricey though

Great watch. Reminds my of glycine not sure why.

Agree with you.

To some of the comments from people that have never owned this line of watches, I have as well as the BB58 which basically has a far better movement / heritage / brand recognition. The Bremont has a tough unique case / beautiful crown (smoothest winding) / sharp engravings / bezel. The Tudor has a better dial / movement / brand / heritage but is nowhere near as robust. The Tudor when taken off the bracelet feels rough / unfinished between the lugs, the case materials on the Tudor are very cheap and I knocked about both watches and the Tudor’s movement failed after a small knock against the wall. The tudor’s dial and bracelet are far superior. My point is people often compare Bremont to watches that cost 25% of the price but really they should be compare price wise to Breitling rather than a Christopher Ward. Can’t be compared to micro brands either because you have a full service centre / boutiques and manufacturing facility

Not a big fan of them, It does look good. Have a similar Islander with a Selita 330, down side but doesn't effect me, not a big traveler. Keep the GMT hand on Central European time.

How does this compare to Fears?

The fit, finish and overall package, the Fears is better I would say. But they are two different watches. the fears is more of a dressy sports watch.

I'd go Farer or even CW over Bremont and Fears. Although I have never experienced a Fears so don't know if there's any...tears for Fears.

At that price the dial should be perfect and without fault, the bracelet should taper and adjust and what's more it should be a slinky thing of beauty, It should be the work of moments to attach a strap, it should have brilliant lume., the date should actually fit inside the aperture and have some design flair. Without these things; surely better off with a nice mid range Seiko for half the price.

Thanks, really appreciate that and you watching!

nice watch but no way id pay that kind of cash for a Bremont with them qc issue

Very expensive for a desk GMT and way over CW.

Using a unidirectional bezel with a 24 hour/GMT insert is careless and lazy. The previous S302 model was a dive watch (timing bezel), with a GMT complication- and that makes a lot of sense. Most recreational divers take their dive trips away from their home time zone. But the decision to keep the unidirectional bezel while pivoting the S302 to feature the 2 time zone capability was one of the first indicators revealing where the Davide Cerrato era is headed.

Good review but I have never seen a Bremont that I felt compelled to buy and this watch hasn’t changed that. I once sat in an AD who brought out 6 Bremonts and spent half an hour trying to convince me how great Bremont watches are. I still bought the Omega. Glad you like this watch but Bremont are way overpriced in my option. No better than Longines or Tudor and far less appealing.

You're spot on Gavin!

Confusing bezel/24 dial for a diver, no quick release on bracelet, curved spring bars (WHY!!), no tapering on bracelet...beautiful design but at $4k+ this is far too faulty.

I forgot to mention the lack of quick release! Well spotted!

It's not "Bray Mont " it's "Brem on" . Nice watch though

I actually joke about this on the lifestream when I wear this watch... its a British company, Brits mostly say the 'T' in words... in fact I'm from the North of England we have a habit of adding an extra 'T' into words or just using the 'T' as opposed to a full word... if you know, you know!

The problem with Bremont is their lack of a recognizable design language. The British watch company leading the pack is C. Ward. THAT's who we should be focusing on.

Absolute hot mess of a watch. You spent at least 1,000 too much on it and with the QC issues😬. If you like it that's all that matters even if a bunch of us random comments think you're nuts
