from 576 reviewsI purchased the Blacktip GMT CK and the Coral Cave, as well as a watch roll and a t-shirt. The watches look great and look good on. The GMT had an oyester bracelet and the Coral Cave had the jubilee. I really couldn't be more happier with both watches. These are definitely "spec monstors" and given the price and build quality, a great value as well. I did have a small issue with the quick release function on the GMT but it was handled quickly so I can also speak highly to their amazing, personalized commitment to customer service. There are several other of their watch models and assessories that I will be purchasing in the future. Highly recommended, American watch maker. Please support them. We need more independant micros like Monterey.
These are the best watches you can find, anywhere, for the price!
Have had it for two weeks and I am loving it. Good weight, smooth second hand, and feels tactile. Cant beat it for this price point.
The Caribe Blue dial is beautiful and the specs and finish on the Sea Phantom are top notch!
Excellent watch, great value for the money! The handwritten note was a super nice touch! You have earned my family as a customer for life!
Love this watch! The size, features, color — everything about it is wonderful.
Recommending it to a friend.
I am building my watch collection and gravitated to this one. Overall the quality is really good I wanted to replace the metal bracelet with a rubber one. Knowing what I know now I would not get the rubber strap as it is looks and feel more like plastic and not rubber. I replaced it with a Nato strap that they also sell and I couldn't be happier!
Also, I got this watch for also for the following two reasons the first being my interest in Micro Brands has increased as they provide the same or in some cases better features and quality for less money. And secondly, this company is from NC and I support local businesses which is key for me!
Anyway, look at what they offer and don't pass them by.
I'd love to write a review, once I get the watch.
This is my 3rd from Monterey, and they continue to impress. This white dial version of the Blacktip Standard DS is another interesting design. Highly polished ceramic bezel (meant to look like SS), an interesting white dial; like their EBC in arctic white, it is a dynamic looking dial in terms of the subtle shifts in color/tone in different light (and not identical to the EBC in this regard). Handset is very well done, and also take on different looks depending on the light. Size, fit, and feel are all great.
I've had this piece in my cart for some time now and finally decided to purchase it. Im glad I did and will definitely be looking into more from Monterey. I was very impressed with how quickly the watch arrived. I purchased it on 12/13 with an estimated arrival of about 2 to 3 weeks. The watch arrived on 12/18. Can't wait to wear it out.
Awesome transaction and customer service. Love the watch
Monterrey has been making some great affordable watches, this is my fifth purchase and I am very pleased! The Slipstream pilot/panda has the smooth seagull movement with a sapphire crystal, display caseback, 3 options for straps, and at 40mm is just the right size.
I gotta say I was skeptical but this watches delivers on quality and aesthetics! Great value
I’m in love with this watch. Looks amazing and keeps perfect time!
