![]() It’s good that they haven’t just cheapened out on basic flat mineral glass, like so many brands do. This means it should have relatively good scratch resistance and anti-shatter properties. My impression, from researching the subject, suggests this is somewhat of a halfway house between the popular mineral glass and full sapphire crystal. This is a rather obscure and little is known about their true effectiveness. Vincero watches feature sapphire-coated mineral crystal, not to be confused with genuine sapphire crystal glass. I could forgive this in a £30 watch, but not when I’m paying £130.įortunately, since purchasing my watch a while back, Vincero have released a 40mm version of the Chrono S, which I anticipate will suit most wrist sizes far better – it’s definitely the one I’d go for (if I had to purchase one of them). Another poorly executed element of the watch. Worryingly, the marketing indicates that this silver marbled rear is present on all of the Vincero colourways, meaning if you choose a model outside of silver, the majority of the case will clash with this silver rear. It is to be noted, this does seem to add to the depth of the watch which we’ll mention in a moment. However, at least it’s some sort of unique standout feature of the watch. Personally, I think this is unnecessary considering it won’t even be visible when worn on the wrist. On the rear is a marble showcase, alongside some cheesy slogans, which I’m assuming are there to make the watch seem more premium. ![]() I do like the shape of the lugs, as they protrude from the main body of the case, they are done well and nicely accommodate the 22mm strap. It’s rather uninspiring and basic, though fits their intended theme. The finishing on the watch is a simple high shine finish throughout. I anticipate this will last well over time and should be resistance to scratches and scuffs. This is a durable metal and the quality of that used in this Vincero watch feels premium. The case is constructed of 316L stainless steel, the standard material used in watches at this price point. It comes with the traditional steel buckle and tang and features quick release tabs allowing for quick strap switches. Nevertheless, I have seen much, much worse quality elsewhere and overall, I think the brand have done okay here. Personally, I prefer my leather straps to be soft and plush, however, it seems I could use this one as a catapult. My chosen strap was this tan croc piece, which looks nice but is certainly very firm and tough. This technically places it a grade above the ‘genuine leather’ used by the majority of fashion watch companies, which is a nice start. The strap included with this Vincero watch is made of top-grain leather. Overall, it’s fine, it will protect the watch in transit to your door it’s also better than the packaging provided with some lower cost watches. I’ve seen near exact packaging from a variety of brands before. The watch arrived in a typical padded box, which is common for these Chinese fashion watches. To note, the regular retail price of this model has increased to £160 at the time of writing this post. As good as their marketing may be, in this article, we’ll be seeing what you actually get for your money.Ī couple of months ago, I purchased a Vincero Chrono S watch, for a fee of £130, to see how it compares to their bold claims.
