I have another Aragon model diver, bought off of their site for the same price as this on sale, with a case the same size, 45 mm, and the same thickness. It's really chunky and pretty well made, including the bracelet. It has the same NH35A movement, which is solid. For the money it's great. No sapphire, and this one has a dome crystal while mine is recessed, so that's something to consider. If you're ordering from abroad, know that Aragon offers free shipping internationally, so you might want to wait for a sale and take advantage of that.
This company sells via various shopping channels, and Mr. Wing, the honcho, will appear, with his daughter sometimes. He's quite the huckster. But the watches are solid. As an OCD Chinese American guy he can keep the Chinese suppliers in line, I think.
CloacaHello there, I own 4 Aragon watches, and just wanted to clarify that they do not offer free international shipping. I pay $25 each time to Canada ,and it takes 3 + weeks for delivery. They do offer free U.S. delivery on some items occasionally. Just for your info. Cheers. P.s. I do love there watches Take care.
newbeeInteresting. Maybe they added a shipping fee. If I were running the business I would. I do remember getting hit with a customs fee, subsequent to delivery, the only time that's happened to me with watches. (Only in Japan is there enough social trust that they sometimes bill you after something is delivered. The first time it happened with a book order I was flabbergasted.)
CloacaHi again, I didn’t want to be too elaborate on my original reply, but if post office delivery $25 u.s. + customs/duties charges. If Fedex it was $25 + $10 brokerage + duties /customs . But 2 weeks faster. That definitely affects the bottom line. Even had to pay $12.50 u.s. delivery in the same box with the extra watch strap (that was almost $48 U.S. dollars extra.) Only continental U.S. is cheap fast delivery. Alaska/Peurto RICO /Hawaii is different. If there were no delivery charge I would have bought more of their products. Cheers and be safe.
