Amazing company offering incredible watches, good support and worry-free shipping.
Incredible value, some WD references rivals in quality & finishing swiss watches costing thousands !
Very good communication with support in case anything goes wrong upon arrival (I had a DOA watch delivered to me, and they refunded me immediately). It's also a brand genuinely invested in its community, with frequent Q&As on forums to figure out what to release next.
Also tax free delivery to Europe which is fantastic. Again a completely hassle free experience. Will shop there again.

Mind-blowing quality, but be patient.
I ordered a watch on Boderry.com on October 2, 2024. The watch was, on paper, indeed too good to even exist. Full titanium build, Seiko automatic GMT caliber inside, sapphire with anti-reflective coating, ceramic bezel, 200m water resistant...
I was so enthusiastic that I paid an eye-watering 29.99€ for express shipping and even left a tip.
Still less than 150€ total, mind you, but with some mandatory taxes upon delivery. I only read all the horror stories here AFTER placing my order.
The watch was supposedly shipped on October 12, with an email saying so. But this was just the shipping label being created. I was pissed and I harassed Boderry’s customer service daily. The only answer I got was “we will ship it asap” which would only piss me off even more. The watch wouldn’t be truly shipped until October 20. I bought this watch for a special occasion, and by the time it was delivered this special moment was long gone. At this point you might wonder how I can still leave 5 stars with such a chaotic delivery process.
Well it’s all down to what showed up on my doorstep on October 26, 2024. First, no tax. This was probably just dumb luck but it’s still worth mentioning. Second, the packaging. The watch was delivered in a solid mini container. It’s a testament to the brand fully embracing its oversea provenance, rather than hiding it. Proudly made in China. I love that. It also comes with a spring bar tool to adjust the bracelet yourself. Then comes the watch. I really wish I could post pictures here, but I’m gonna try in writing anyway.
I was first attracted to the Boderry Admiral GMT after a hands-on with the Seiko 5 GMT. I was truly disappointed by the Seiko’s mediocre bracelet, mineral crystal (as opposed to sapphire) and mineral crystal bezel (as opposed to ceramic) and the low water resistance w/o a screw down crown. All that for 450€! So, when I heard about the Admiral GMT, correcting all the Seiko’s flaws for ¼ of the price?
At some point during the chaotic shipping experience, I came here, and I read all the awful reviews. I really thought the watch didn’t even exist, that it was all a scam, that I would never own it. But boy did they deliver. The quality is incredible. There is no quality control flaw like many reviews pointed out. I tested the watch for accuracy and water resistance, it delivered on both. People don’t believe me when I told them how much I paid for it. But I don’t even believe it myself. The perceived value is the polar opposite of the actual value. Unlike Seiko, yeah that’s for sure.
So be patient. Keep in mind that, most likely, when you’re passing your order, the watch doesn’t even exist yet. In my case I believe Boderry waited to have enough orders to start production. Which explains the massive delays, but also the mind-blowing quality when I unboxed my BD-A12T-06.
I own several other watches many times more expensive than this, and I still think the Boderry looks and feels of higher standard. Don't hesitate and order yours. Just don't be in a hurry.
