Ordering and shipping were great with good comms. I'll mirror what others have said about the strap. It's not great and has a stamped clasp. I was always going to swap it for a different strap, so no big deal for me, just be aware.

Unfortunately, I think I was shipped a returned watch. No scratches or dings but arrived without the usual plastic wrapping and missing the crystal covers (which always raises concerns). I reached out straight away to provide feedback and a picture. Tim was on it in minutes. I had a great conversation with him and he made it right, without hesitation. The old school customer service and accountability is not dead.

The signed card in the box is a nice touch, the colour of the dial is great and the ST1901 is legendary.

What could have been a sour experience ended up being great.....................oh, and I've ordered another watch.

Absolutely an amazing watch I definitely plan to purchase more definitely going to talk good things about it

This watch for blew my expectations out of the water. For the price the quality and customer service are some of the best I’ve seen. I will be purchasing another Monterey again.

Great watch bought it for myself enjoyed for a few days and wife wears it now and she loves it says it’s very clean

This watch has been phenomenally accurate for a mechanical watch over the first week that I’ve owned it. Every time I check it against my iPhone, it is within one or two seconds of exactly accurate. I think that’s impressive (even if it’s only for the first week. I’m also thrilled with the foot and finish. It’s a great watch.

Amazing watch and great quality.

This watch is just amazing. It's so easy to wear and many compliments in the short period of time I have had it. I love the watch so much that I ordered a second one in Marine Blue.I truly enjoy wearing it and also enjoy all the attention that they attract.

Received my Carova and it’s great! The seagrass color is beautiful. It Is absolutely the perfect everyday summer beach watch. I plan on wearing this watch all summer long to the beach in the Outer Banks and out to dinner in Atlantic City.

When you put that EBC on your wrist, it not only feels and looks great, it gives you the satisfaction of wearing something of true quality for a very good price point. Monterey is blowing away the competition at this level and will continue to do so with their strong commitment to excellence and incredible customer service.

I love the colors and the band..the lume is great ...love it...their customer service is amazing..if you want a great watch thats different at a great price monteray is the place ...thanks guys

This watch is so great to wear! Highly recommend!!! Great watch for any occasion!

Really nice color blue. The watch fits my wrist very well and is comfortable to wear. It check most of the boxes for me I would like to see a few things improved with the bracelet, I would love to see screw pins, a on the fly micro adjustment system, quick release (no tool) end links and perhaps half links. The bezel action could be a bit more crisp. Would like to see the circle hour marker induces maybe 1 to 2 MM smaller. My personal preference would be to have a painted or applied frame around the date window.
So far it seems to keep accurate time maybe slightly fast but that’s my preference rather than slow. Overall I’m very happy with the quality of execution and finish is better than the price reflects.
Keep up the good work guys.
