Just like my other Monterey watches, the Carova did not disappoint! The fit and finish are perfect, the accuracy is outstanding, and the wearability is second to none. Another superb watch from this amazing watch company.

This is a great GMT with rapid set time / date function. Well made and pleasing to the eye. It won’t be my last Monty, for sure!

Kitty Hawk EK

Excellent product and service is unmatched! Awesome company to work with. They care!

This watch smacks! The weight the quality of build surprised me. The lume is fantastic and simply put it’s just fun to look at. Love this watch.

Great watch and looks very sharp, feels like a quality watch and is very affordable

Corrrection - this should be 5 stars

Very classic looking piece!

Love this one by Monterey. So much that I bought 2 colors. Love them on the brown leather straps for their Panerai type vibes. Amazing piece for the price

This one is a keeper. No question about it.

The Monterey Watch Co. Dark Bayou EM is hands down one of the best bang-for-your-buck dive watches out there right now. I’ve worn a lot of watches in this price range, and this one just feels different — like it should cost twice what it does.

*The Look*

First thing you notice is that black and gold combo. Matte black dial, gold accents, and those gold snowflake hands — it’s got that classic diver look but with its own personality.

The dial is clean and easy to read. Date window at 3 o’clock where it should be, nice applied markers, and nothing cluttered. It works with a t-shirt and jeans, and it still works if you dress it up a little.

That domed sapphire alone makes it feel like a much more expensive watch. Add in the 200M rating, the ceramic bezel, and that high-beat movement, and you’re getting pro-specs at a microbrand price.

*Bottom Line*

If you’re on the fence, just get it.

I love the build quality and aesthetics of this watch at an affordable price point. It's great watch that I plan to wear for a long time.

Picked up the Slipstream Chrono in Koho orange. Watch looks awesome. The color of the dial with the black bezel really stands out. I’m fairly new to watch collecting and had some questions about the watch after purchasing and the team at Monterey was really awesome. Had a personal conversation with the owner about watches. Would really recommend this if you are looking for an affordable micro brand.

Wow, Monterey has done it again. I just purchased the dark blue croupier and could not be happier with my purchase. This my second watch purchase from them (won’t be my last), and there just isn’t another microbrand out there that gives you a Miyota 9015 with 28,800 vph, amazing dial, amazing bracelet at this price. Don’t know how they do it, but boy so glad they do!

Bracelet is beautiful and straps are great alternative options
