Product Description
Founded in Frankfurt in 1921, Braun gained recognition in the mid-20th century for its modern industrial design prowess. The head of its design department for more than three decades was Dieter Rams, who proved wildly influential in the functionalist German design renaissance of the late 1950s and ‘60s Read More

I currently have in my watch boneyard a black dial - black strap version of this watch. The current Braun watches are very much Chinese-made, and do not reflect the quality of the vintage German versions. The hidden lugs on the watch does not wear comfortably for me, the watch has a way of rotating to the back of my wrist. I think because the ends of the strap are so close to each other it wears more like a leather cuff than a watch. The movement is a bit better than the cheapest quartz, but it is not easy to change the battery. Even with the right tools. I thought I could tackle it, but I managed to break the gear-train in the movement doing it. The movement cannot be removed out the back, the crystal must be lifted out and crown-stem released to take out the top of the case. Case finish is not all that great either. You are getting a slightly over-priced quartz watch here. Mine is not worth trying to repair.

I have the SS bracelet version and it didn't survive a hot shower. They don't claim to be waterproof, but just a heads up.

I think the price tag says everything here.
This is not a Rollex Watch being sold for $25.00 on the back streets of Singapore (when I was a child) but this is a decent watch (not great, for the money spent).
Always understand that first, before thinking you are going to get a 100% made in Germany watch. Not going to happen, unless MassDrop could get the original and it will never be sold for this amount being asked.
Everything is now being Made in China mainly due to the so-called First World, giving up on that whole manufacturing process of just about anything these days. Blame the West not the Chinese, for delivering this new reality to everyone on this planet.

Shortly after I received the watch, it died within the first hour of setting the time. I either get a full refund or a $10/20% credit. For some reason, sending this watch out for repair under warranty is not an option. Nowhere is it stated that there is no warranty. I'm not certain of this, but that seems to be a misleading practice.
A lack of full disclosure is not a good thing.

I'll wear this watch the day I'll be able to store my eggs and milk in a Seiko or Eterna branded fridge!

Braun makes great coffee brewing and grinding machines. But their grinders eventually break.

I reallly like the design but have read reviews saying this is a terrible watch quality and reliability. Damn.
Anyone care to differ or post good impressions?
